Re: Remote Desktop Connection to branch network failing

Gotta be a permissions issue I would think of the accounts being used to connect.

On a personal note...I would explain to client how much extra money they are paying you to figure this out when you could for a few bucks in hardware, have this up and running.

Clients who won't take my advise don't stay my clients very long

Using SBS 2k. Hardware to hardware not possible as client won't allow
this. Have to connect via servers.

What I can't work out is why I have one workstation (w2k sp4) that CAN
connect in but the remaining stations (W2k3 sp4 and XP Pro sp2) cannot.

Have you considered hardware to hardware VPN rather than the servers?
