tscc.msc on Vista Ultimate?

I need to debug a connection failure between my two Vista Ultimate PCs on my
home network.

Remote Desktop won’t connect on my home network or through WHS, and I’m
pretty sure it’s not a firewall issue. I've followed all the usual steps to
properly configure firewall and port 3389 (even though I'm not behind one),
enable Remote Desktop, set authentication level, etc. QWINSTA reports the
TS service isn't running, even though it shows started in Management
Console/Services.

The exact error message is: “This computer cannot connect to the remote
computer. Try connecting again. If the problem continues, contact the owner
of the remote computer or your network administrator.”

One of the expert websites I've read says this message indicates an RDP-TCP
binding problem on PCs with multiple network adapters (like mine), and this
can be resolved with tscc.msc. Unfortunately there’s no tscc.msc snap-in in
Vista Ultimate (that I can find). I’m sure there’s another way to do this
Vista, but don’t know what it is, nothing helpful in PSS KB.

Any/all suggestions are welcome.

tscc.msc only exists on server OS. You could just use the local system
policies via gpedit.msc.

RE: tscc.msc on Vista Ultimate?

Thanks for the response Patrick. I'm looking at gpedit.msc but don't see any
options that look like what I need, anything related to binding RDP to the
correct network adapter on my system. Any ideas on this?

RE: tscc.msc on Vista Ultimate?

This option is not available via GPO because the hardware on each server
could be different.

Re: tscc.msc on Vista Ultimate?

when you run qwinsta, do you see the "RDp-Tcp listen" entry in the output?
