Guest Bruce J Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 I have recently upgraded a Windows 2003 server connected to an SBS 2003 domain to SP2. All worked fine for a while until I uninstalled the "Terminal Server" role and I lost RDP access. Do I need the Terminal Server role for remote access? If not, how can I regain remote access? The server is not listening on port 3389 anymore (when i check remotely using PSExec remote command tool). The Terminal Server & RPC services are running. -- Bruce J MCP, MCDST, Network+

Terminal server role = RDP, but it depends on what mode, application mode or administration mode. App mode requires licenses. Admin mode only allows two in order to remotely admin the server, Go to My Computer, rt-click, properties, remote tab.

Guest Bruce J Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Re: Win2003 SP2 Upgrade RDP Problem Ace, You were correct! I logged on locally and the "allow users to connect remotely option" was unticked. I'm now able to connect via RDP with the option ticked. I didn't need to re-install the terminal services role. Thanks for your help! -- Bruce J MCP, MCDST, Network+ "Ace Fekay [MVP]" wrote: > In news:96C52052-115F-46A6-B7D4-EA7A95986680@microsoft.com, > Bruce J <BruceJ@discussions.microsoft.com> typed: > > I have recently upgraded a Windows 2003 server connected to an SBS > > 2003 domain to SP2.
