RDP stopped working

[Frank]

For some reason, I can no longer connect to my domain controller using RDP. I
can do so to any other server.

From my workstation, if I attempt telnet <servername> 3389, I get no response.

From the domain controller, if I attempt telnet <localhost> 3389, I get the
response "...could not open connection to the host on port 3389. Connect
failed..."

Running netstat -a -o shows nothing using port 3389.

I've done nothing to cause this port to be blocked on 3389 on this server.

Anyone encounter this mystery?

Even better: anyone have a solution to the mystery?

Thanks!

Did you check the Windows Firewall?

Thanks for the quick response. Yes, Windows firewall is disabled on the
domain controller with the connection problem. It's also off on my
workstation.

RE: RDP stopped working

I think that's the problem. You can either open the Windows Firewall on
domain controllers and enable Remote Desktop in Exception List, or you can
run security configuration wizard on domain controllers to open the port 3389

Re: RDP stopped working


Yes, Thanks. That key is set to 0. I saw that mentioned in earlier posts.
The terminal services on the domain controller are started.
