RE: Remote Connection to SBS-2000



Charles,

Thanks for the detailed troubleshooting procedure ...

I have Telnet Port 3389 and it gave me the blank screen, then it is OK ...

After a reboot and successful login on the SBS-2000, I can RDP the SBS-2000

But, if I reboot and didn't login locally to the SBS-2000, I cannot RDP it ...

I am not sure if it is related to the initialization of the Terminal
Services or has something to do with the ISA ...

I also noticed that after I login to the SBS-2000 and run the Internet
Connection Wizard and reaply the ISA settings, I can RDP the SBS-2000 ...
