It seems you have that problem because RDU requires administrative permissions on the target computer. Since your server is assigned to a workgroup, not a domain, you should either sync administrative passwords on the local and target computers or establish a connection to the the server's ipc$ share before running RDU. You may do this by typing the following command:
net use \\servername\ipc$ * /USER:servername\Administrator

It will prompt you for administrator's password. Once the command completed successfully, you may run RDU.
