I have a desktop to which I remote in via rdp using my laptops, tablets etc., everything works fine here. (Username: MicrosoftAccount\myemail@outlook.com, password: mypass)
I want to give another user remote access to this desktop. So I added his email address (abc@outlook.com) via "Manage other accounts", enabled remote access for this email via "System Properties" --> "Remote" --> "Select Users"
Now, when he tries to login using his email, Username: MicrosoftAccount\abc@outlook.com, password: HisOutlookPassword, via RDP, he gets error "the credentials that were used to connect to MyDesktop did not work. Please enter new credentials."
Anything I am missing? Does he need to physically login to my desktop for the first time?
All OSes we use are Windows 8.1 Pro

I assume both users are in the game user group? – Ramhound – 2013-11-12T17:02:03.477
was that 'same user group'? Yes, Both are in administrators group (Local groups). – CodingSlayer – 2013-11-12T17:17:34.703
2Try logging into the computer with the Microsoft Account so the user profile directory is created. – Ramhound – 2013-11-12T17:22:45.743
Is there anyway around it? I wont be at the physical machine for atleast another month. I generally use my ip to Remote-in into my desktop. – CodingSlayer – 2013-11-12T17:26:43.540
