Re: RWW and Remote desktop stopped working on all clients

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Thanks, but I really don't think this is relevant, as users can navigate the
RWW site with no trouble, select options, use OWA via RWW site, and I can
use RWW to connect to any server whether logged in as the the adminsitrator
or another account with Domain Admin role; also the server is SBS 2003.

Digign a bit deeper, I checked teh firewall exceptions list, and Remote
Desktop is NOT checked, and greyed out, and Yes by policy. However, I'm
fairly certain it's always been this way, as I haven't used the group policy
editor to make any changes in months, and no one else has to my knowledge...

Thanks Cris for helping!

XP SP3 went out via WSUS about 2 weeks ago. The only update applied since
11/13 was the XML Core Services SP2, and that went out last night. (This
update stays it's not removable - I hope this could not have somthign to
do with it?)

Recent changes:
The win2003 server was just added last Friday as a member server, static
IP. On MOnday morning I saw that it kept losing the default gateway
setting from the router to SBS's IP, and I found an article stating that
the SBS login script would do this, so I changed the administrator
account to not use that script. That problem was solved. Domain Users
still use the sbs login script, which has not been changed except for a
drive mapping. The first client reported to have the trouble I have not
logged on to as admin in several weeks, and the user connected via RWW
just last week (Thursday or Friday)

Something went belly up and I jsut can't seem to pinpoint it. I *did*
find ONE machine I was able to connect to via RDP, logged in as admin,
and almost immediately the connection dropped so I'm suspecting the login
script for Administrator not using SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat - I removed the
line \\LSGSBS\Clients\Setup\setup.exe /s LSGSBS from a copy of
SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat and set teh admin account to use that. however,
after loggin in to the workstation that initially reported teh problem
using a normal user account, I still am unable to connect to the client
via RDP.

The remaining lines in the login script:

NET USE U: \\LSGSBS\Users
NET USE P: \\LSGSBS\Public
netsh firewall set service REMOTEADMIN enable
echo logon %username% %computername% %date% %time% %sessionname% >>
\\lsgsbs\e$\Audit_Logs\logon.log

As I said earlier I can connect to any of the servers either via RWW or
RDP, but no clients.

Thanks again,
Susan

Was XP SP3 just applied to these workstations?

Rebooted the server this morning because I had a hung USB drive, and
since rebooting NONE of the client computers (all XP Pro SP3)will
accept a connection either externally via RWW or internally via Remote
Desktop. The servers are fine (SBS 2003 R2, Win2003 and Win2000). I
haven't changed anythign in group policies, DHCP, Wins, nothing. Can
ping clients, can manage remotely from My computer>>connect to another
computer, can see shares. Only RDP and RWW are broken.

Any ideas? Again, this is ALL clients, and a real problem as I have
several users who need RWW access.

Please help!

Susan
