Can no longer remote desktop to a 2003 server

After a reboot over the weekend our admins can no longer remote desktop to
administer a 2003 DC server which is also our file/print server.

I checked the event logs on the client and the server and there are no
relevant entries. It is as if the RD service is not running but it is.

No other problems with the server, it's running fine, our users are
reporting no issues and again, the event log is clean.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
-Bob

Hi
Did you uninstalled MCAfee?
-Check if RDP is configured to listen in all NICs that you need to access.
-If the above is correct go to cmd and type netsh winsock reset all, then
reboot the machine and try again.
-If the problem still remains, follow:

Hello Jorge,

Can you please explain how to check if RDP is configured to listen on the
NIC?

Thank you,

Try "telnet <server> 3389". If you don't get a response then either RD is not
running or a firewall is in the way.
