Cannot RDP into 2003 Server DC

[Guest George]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to remote desktop into a 2003 server that serves as a domain

controller. However, I get the "This computer cannot connect to the

remote computer" message. I matched the policy settings to that of

another dc that works and still nothing. Any ideas?

Is remote desktop enabled on that server?

Any firewall blocking the packets?

Yes - RD is enabled and the server has RDP open on the FW.

What firewall? If this is a software firewall app, disable it and test.

 

On the TS box, try a telnet on 3389 to localhost -and try a telnet on 3389

across the LAN to the server's name/IP.

Re: Cannot RDP into 2003 Server DC

 

My PDC I have to put the IP address in and then follow it with :3390 to

login. Not sure why but this is the only thing that ever worked.

 

Example:

 

10.10.1.3:3390

Matt

Hi all,

 

We think it's an issue with the RDP listener. Someone here said that

they have seen this behavior before and had to delete it and reinstall

it to fix the issue.

This probably isn't relevant, as a) you've evidently changed the listening

port on your server from the default, and b) if you have to use the IP

address instead of the server's name, you have some underlying networking

problems.

Did you try the telnet, as I suggested?

Hi Matt,

 

Yes - I couldn't telnet into 3389. I tried another server in the same

segment and could successfully telnet to it.

What about on the server itself -

 

telnet localhost 3389

Re: Cannot RDP into 2003 Server DC

 

Sorry - that's what I meant. I have fixed it, however. We removed the

listener and rebooted. I open TS Configuration and noticed there wasn't

anything in the Connections folder. I added a new connection and now it

looks like we're all set!
