stating that you cannot connect and to check and make sure the
workstation is connected to the network

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

How did you join the computers to the domain? Use the /connectcomputer
wizard and it will configure this for you (the RD settings, permissions, and
firewall settings) among many other things. Ignore the wizards at your
peril. If you used the manual method, disjoin the workstations from the
domain and start over. If you did use /connectcomputer, check the
workstation to ensure RD is enabled & the firewall exception is set (or set
it manually in your third party firewall software).
