I have a terminal server which is 2003. From yesterday, sometimes users can

remote desktop to this server but most time they fail. Network looks running

well. I can access shared folder on the terminal server. I don't see any

error in Event Viewer. Anyone can help me on this? Thanks a lot

Error is:

 

The Client Could not establish a connetion to the remote Computer

The mostly like causes for this error are:

1) Remote Connections might not be enabled at the remote computer

2)The maximum number of connections was exceeded at the remote computer

3) A network error occurred while establishing the connection

Have you checked the number of allowed connections in the Network

Adapter tab of the rdp-tcp properties?

Re: Emergency! Cannot Remote Logon Terminal Server

 

Should I be concerned with this? :)

 

Netstat:

TCP server:3389 ip-122-152-181-170.asianetcom.net:32745

SYN_RECEIVED

TCP server:3389 irqfdsl-374.ontera.net:40772 ESTABLISHED

 

The ontera.net connection is mine and the asianetcom.net is from HongKong

and definately has no business in the listing. The user also received a lot

of spam over the weekend I guess this server is a bot server now? I am

looking into the issue further.

RE: Emergency! Cannot Remote Logon Terminal Server

 

I'm thinking if it could be a problem of licensing. It looks like: a desktop

can remote desktop to the terminal server when it is the first time this

desktop remote to the terminal server. After that fail.

RE: Emergency! Cannot Remote Logon Terminal Server

 

I solved my problem. After changing many security problems and blocking the

person trying to connect to server remotely I applied all available updates

including SP2, now I can connect without issues.? I still do not know what

the original issue was, however works after the updates.

 

I will have the users all change their passwords tomorrow just encase.

RE: Emergency! Cannot Remote Logon Terminal Server

 

I find out that if I delete the subkey of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - Software

-Microsoft - MSLicensing -Store (from client side), I am able to remote

desktop to the termianl server. I try it on serveral desktops. It works. Hope

it is the solution. But don't know the reason.

 

Thank you everyone for your replying

Re: Emergency! Cannot Remote Logon Terminal Server

 

This means your licensing server is not able to hand out a permenant

license. Make sure, on that key, that Users have full control. They

probably do not.
