I have a server running 2003, Web, SP1. Remote Desktop stopped
working after a reboot. What I have been able to see so far:
- Remote Desktop as part of System Properties is enabled
- There is no listener displayed in TS Manager
- The Server is no longer listening for 3389 (as shown with netstat)
- The options for TS, as part of Add/Remove Windows components, are
gone

It's as if RDP was wiped off the map. The reboot was harmless enough -
no major changes.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Sorry, just realized that there would be no options for TS in Add/
Remove as it is Web version of 2003. But any other ideas on how to
get RDP back?
 
Re: Remote Desktop / TS on Server 2003 is gone

With "2003, Web, SP1", do you mean that the server runs Windows
2003, Web Edition? Or that it runs Windows 2003, Standard /
Enterprise Edition + the web components for Terminal Services (aka
tsweb)?
Tried a second reboot?
Any errors or warnings in EventViewer?

I've had this happen to me once on a 2003, SP1 server. I had to
delete the rdp-tcp connection and create a new one to solve the
problem. You could try if that helps.
Have you considered installing SP2?

Hi Martin,

Have you tried recreating the listener object? This is done
using Terminal Services Configuration (tscc.msc).
