i try and connect i get a different error.
VBScript: remote Desktop Disconnected

On a target remote computer, right-click on My Computer and select
Properties. There is a Remote tab that is used to configure remote access
for that computer. This can probably also be set in Group Policy but I'm not
enough of a GP guru to be able to tell you exactly where or how to take that
route. I would suggest you check the Remote access properties on one target
machine, make sure it is enabled with the right access privileges, then try
connecting through RWW. If successful, then you can determine whether you
want to go desk to desk and configure each machine or research how to do it
through Group Policy.

You can also do a quick test to determine if ISA settings are causing
problems by doing a remote connection to one machine from another one inside
of the LAN. If you are on the local network on Workstation1 and can
establish a Remote Desktop Connection to Workstation2 on the local network,
but can't connect to Workstation2 from outside the external network, then you
know that the workstations are configured correctly but you have an issue at
the perimeter with ISA or a firewall. If you can't connect to Workstation2
while on the local network, then you know you have a client machine
configuration problem.

The remote computers were turned on, but not signed into. How do you enable
remote desktop connections on the computers?

Well, I guess the simplest question to ask is if the remote computers are in
fact a) powered on b) not in a sleep mode, and c) remote desktop enabled. If
the power options are set to put the remote system in to a hibernating state,
you won't be able to connect while it's asleep. Somewhere in the bowels of
this or some other SBS forum there is a technique described somewhere that
will let you do a remote wakeup of a hibernating system in order to establish
a RDP connection. I don't remember where it is but if I recall, it's not a
very well documented or widely known method. Also, Remote Desktop
connections need to be enabled on the remote systems and each AD account that
will connect must have RDP access rights granted on that system.

We have a SBS2003 server running ISA2004. I have configured OWA, which seems
to work fine for remote clients. I am having trouble with RWW. When a client
logs in and goes to select the computer to connect to , they get the
following message:
Connectivity to the remote computer could not be established. Ensure that
the remote computer is on and connecte dto the Windows Small Business Server
network. Any ideas?
