The RPC,server is unavailable

[Guest Ste]

Hello,

 

I've two domain A and B. Users in domain B have to login on a terminal

server in domain A. Between A and B there's an external trust.

 

When I try to login on my terminal server (windows 2003 std r2 sp2) I

get error:

 

Unable to obtain Terminal Server User Configuration. Error: The RPC

server is unavailable.

Event Id: 1219 Source: Winlogon

 

I've verified online, there's a KB821929 from microsoft tals about an

issue with winlogon.exe and roaming profiles, but is not applicable to

my system as I've a different version (my ver is 5.2.3790.3959 against

microsoft wrong version 5.2.3790.68).

 

Also I've tested to login with a different user never logged in before

and I get the same problem.

 

I've verified that Netbios is on, tcp/ip netbios helper is running, and

there're no dns issues.

 

Any hints?

 

Thanks

Stefano

RE: The RPC,server is unavailable

 

Firewalls buddy - what is your firewall structure like?

Have you configured any special ports to be used by RPC or have you left it

at default.

you see the way RPC works is that it randomly selects a dynamic port between

a huge window of ports - is you have firewalls between most probably these

ports are blocked... there is a way to mod your reg to reduce the RPC dynamiv

port range, and then just have that opened on your firewall - but again this

is all if you actually have firewalls -
