Guest CJVPT Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I'm a newbie and I just finished setting up a server with windows 2003 server and I would like to remotely connect to the machine. It is currently in a workgroup that is physically connected to our network and not part of our domain. I can ping the machine, but I cannot remotely connect. How do I solve this? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Guest CJVPT Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Re: Remote Desktop to Windows 2003 Server I enabled remote desktop and I still receive an error remote desktop connection disconnected. The client could not connect to the remote computer...... Remote desktop may not be enabled or the computer is too busy to accept the remote connections. There is only the administrator with no password. I enter the same credentials when trying to log on using remote desktop but I am unsuccessful. Please advise. Do I need to create a new user or do I need to join the domain to be able to access the computer?

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Re: Remote Desktop to Windows 2003 Server Hello CJVPT, RDP into 2003 with a blank administrator password is prevented by design and this is GOOD. Never work with an administrator account without a strong password!!!
