Unable to connect to XP PC using Terminal Services Manager

[Guest Adrian]

I am trying to remotely control a Windows XP (SP2) using Terminal Services

Manager from a Windows 2003 server. Although I can see the PC in Terminal

Services Manager I get a message saying 'You could not be authentificated on

this server'.

 

I have changed the DWord for TSAdvertise and TSEnabled to 1, switched off

the firewall and added myself to the local group of Remote Users. I can

connect to it using the RDP client.

 

We have 3 other XP machines that we can connect to via the Terminal Services

Manager with no problem.

 

Any advice most welcome.

Re: Unable to connect to XP PC using Terminal Services Manager

 

You need to add your user account to XP's local administrators group to be

able to connect remotely with Terminal Services Manager (TSAdmin.exe).

Also, on the XP machine, please verify:

1. registry key

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\AllowRemoteRPC is set

to 1. A reboot maybe required if you change this setting.

2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal

Server\fDenyTSConnections is set to 0.

3. Disable "Force Guest" logon. goto to local security pololicy

(secpol.msc)->Security Settings->Local Policies->Security Options->Network

access: Sharing and security model for local accounts, set to "Classic"

 

On the machine that runs tsadmin.exe,

1 Make sure key manager does not contain the XP machines name, goto

Control panel->Stored User Names and Passwords. (Alternate way to access

this is with cmdkey.exe command line)

 

Thanks

Soo Kuan
