OR

“Unable to start debugging on the web server. Attaching to a process in a different terminal server session is not supported on this computer. Try remote debugging to the machine and running the Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor in the process’s session.”

Fix: Check your Local Security Policy, you need to ensure that Administrators have "Debug Programs" permission (Security Settings | Local Policies | User Rights Assignment)

Abhishek, thanks for the idea, however in many cases turning off UAC is not an option. Changes to Local Security Policy can be distributed via group policy to an entire company.
