Remote Desktop Connection

[mike55]

Hi all

Am having some problem with Remote Desktop Connection in that the only way that I can connect into the server is by going to dos and entering the following command

      mstsc -v:195.111.0.111 /F -console

I have tried going to Programs, Accessories, Communications, Remote Desktop Connections. When this opens, I simple enter the IP address of the machine that I want to connect to\console (i.e. 195.111.0.111\console), I also set the Experience to Lan(10mbps or higher). Now when I hit the connect button I get a message after a few minutes telling me that: "The Client could not connect to the remote connection. Remote Connection may not be enabled or the computer may be busy, please try again later or contact system administrator."

In the event that I replace the IP address\console with the machine name: Ive_Colocat I get the following error: "The remote session was disconnected because there are no terminal server licence servers available to provide a licence. Please contact the service administrator."

Any suggestions on how to overcome this problem.

It sounds to me like the PC your connecting to either doesnt allow remote connection/terminal services or the amount of terminal service connections is being used. Have you checked that the relevant services are running on the server?

Another thing: when using RC directly i.e. not running from the command line, you should only need to use the IP (195.111.0.111) or PC name - you dont need to use any switches as these are set in the options dialog.

Can we automatically rule out the idea that the relevant services are not running on the grounds that I can connect to the remote computer using the command line:

 mstsc -v:191.111.0.111 /F -console

In relation to the amount of terminal services available, the server is set-up with 20 licences, and these are all activated. Will continue searching and will let you know if I find anything of value.
