After installing a QuickBooks update on a Windows 7 workstation, it required me to restart the computer, which I did. When it came back up Remote Desktop access was not (and still is not) available. This workstation is an Active Directory member. Remote Desktop is controlled by Group Policy. I've run 'gpupdate /Force' on this workstation. There are 9 other such workstations in the office. All can be accessed via Remote Desktop except this one. I've verified that Remote Desktop access is enabled, "Allow connections from computers running any version of remote Desktop ..." I've verified that Remote Desktop is enabled on the firewall. I've even turned off the firewall completely. This computer is able to access the network, the Internet and RDC to other local workstations. It can ping other workstations, but other workstations cannot ping it. Nor can other workstations access this computer's shared drive. Network discovery and file and printer sharing are turned on. I've shutdown and restarted this workstation. The error message when trying to connect to this computer is:
Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:
1) Remote access to the server is not enabled.
2) The remote computer is turned off.
3) The remote computer is not available on the network.
Make sure the remote computer is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled.
In case there was some lurking update waiting for the next reboot to bite me, I've rebooted other workstations in the office with no subsequent problem Remote accessing them.
I've been working on this for several hours and I'm at a loss for ideas. Anyone?
