RDP won't work on WIN2K3

[Jeff]

I have one server that RDP refuses to work on. I have it enabled and the
appropriate user has permissions. I did a netstat -a and don't see the entry
with port 3389 listed. I have enabled and disabled RDP but can't connect to
this server. Can someone please tell me how to fix?

This is just a stab in the dark but perhaps you could check the regkey
for RDP ports
HKLM\system\currencontrolset\control\terminal server\winstations\rdp-
tcp
there should be a DWORD value with the name Portnumber and a
value(default is 3389). See if that is there and if there is a value
in it.
If it is there and their is a value you could also take a look at the
Terminal Services service which may be not running.

I checked both of those and the entry exists and the service is running.
Anything else I can look at? This machine was running Terminal Services but
it's been uninstalled. It's also running Virtual Server.

Reboot the server, if possible. Then check if the Terminal Services
service is running. Check the EventLog for any warnings or errors.

Has it ever worked on this server?
Can you establish an rdp connection when you are logged in at the
physical console of the server to the server itself (i.e. connect to
localhost)?

Re: RDP won't work on WIN2K3

I have rebooted the server. Terminal Services service is running. Eventlog
shows no errors. It has worked in the past. I had terminal services
installed in application mode up until recently. I am unable to connect on
the physical console itself by RDPing to localhost. I am stumped!!!!!!
Again, netstat -a doesn't show an entry for 3389 but, if I look in the
registry, it's there.

Re: RDP won't work on WIN2K3

After uninstalling Terminal Services, did you go to System - Remote
and check that Remote Desktop for Administration is still enabled?

If it is, I would delete the rdp-tcp connection completely and
create a new one. In Terminal services Configuration.
