+ Could be one of the latest patches casuing issues if you didn't do the
port exclusions:
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-067 - Critical
http://msmvps.com/blogs/bradley/archive/2008/10/23/microsoft-security-bulletin-ms08-067-critical.aspx
+ In the router, you have port 3389 forwarded to the SBS NIC?
+ Is the SBS server handling DHCP for the network (SBS likes it better that
way)?
+ Have you rebooted the server a couple of times after hte upgrades?
+ Check your services and make sure they are all started.
+ Inthe server, right click on My Computer | Properties | Remote and insure
that the "Enable Remote Dektop on this computer" is checked.

Thank you for the reply Merv.
The BPA comes back w/ no warnings.
Everything is up to date, including SBS2003 SP1.
Nmap shows the port as closed when scanning the localhost.
Could a service have been turned off or a registry setting changed in one
of
the patches that would keep it from running?
Agian, I don't see anything failing in event viewer either.

When you upgraded the SBS server, did you install SBS 2003 SP1?

I took over yet another SBS2003 box last weekend. When I first started
working with it remotely, remote desktop worked fine.
The first thing I did was get the machine current with updates. It
looked
it
was still mostly SBS2003 RTM with just a few patches. No service packs.
Obviously this means I installed quite a few things all at once, so I'm
not
sure after which patch this started happening.
At some point I lost the ability to use RDP to connect to the server.
There
is no software firewall running on the machine itself. Even opening up
the
remote desktop program on the machine and trying to connect to itself
fails.
It is always the generic "This computer can't connect to the remote
computer. Try connecting again. If the problem continues, contact the
owner
of the remote computer or your network administrator."
Remote desktop is enabled. I tried disabling it, rebooting, and
re-enabling
it. Still no joy.
The RDP-Tcp connection is listed under Terminal Services Configuration.
Nothing in there looks like it would stop me from connecting.
Thank you
