I am trying to connect to a Windows 2003 Enterprise server using
Remote Desktop (administration mode) and not able to. In Windows 2003
this is installed by default so all that needs to be done is enable it
under the remote tab under System Properties. I'm the system engineer
and manager over 300 enterprise servers from datacenter, enterprise,
and standard servers. I use Windows Remote Desktop on my entire
servers so I very familiar with setting up remote desktop.
Here's my issue:
I come into work today (June 26th) and try to remote desktop to a
server I remote into daily and not able to. I checked the following:
1. Make sure Windows firewall is disabled, 2. Make sure remote desktop
is enabled, 3. Check some settings in group policy, 4. Remove the
server from the domain, restarted, and then added the server back to
the domain. 5. Lost count on how many times I restarted. 7. Check to
make sure RDP was listening on port 3389 by using netstat and it is.
8. Make sure that my user ID in the remote users group and remote
users tab.
I'm not aware of any changes done recently. I'm not to sure what the
problem is; don't know if it’s a group policy setting or what. I will
say that after a restart I'm able to connect by remote desktop for
about 1min and the computer logs me off. However, I must Remote
desktop into the server about 30 seconds after a reboot or I won't be
able to log in. No event logs. Just this error from the client:
"This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try connecting
again. If the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote
computer or your network administrator."
or this one when connecting from a different computer:
"Remote Desktop Disconnected. The client could not connect to the
remote computer
Remote connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too
busy to accept new connections."
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...
