Re: December Updates Have Killed Remote Desktop

No. Because both workstations had already been updated some days previously, and were connecting to the server perfectly OK before, I think it has to be related to something on the server. What port(s) should I be looking at? I presume OWA and the things that are still working use port 80; does remote desktop use something different? That would explain why it's the only thing that's not working.

I've installed all updates in three places and no issues.

You didn't install...like Trend CSM 3.0 or any other port blocking software on the workstation?

I ran December updates at the weekend from a remote site (home) and initiated a restart. This is how I always do it. I usually check back twenty minutes later to see if everything's come back OK but this time I couldn't get a remote desktop connection. I was able to connect to OWA, but not remote desktop.

This morning on-site, I can't get remote desktop from a workstation, either. The error dialogue is attached. Sitting at the server (which isn't easy as it's in a rack in a cupboard), everything *looks* fine, and remote desktop is enabled. All services that I would expect are started.
