both 2000 machines have TS install for remote administration. TS was working
fine until i added the 2003 DC to the network. i installed the remote desktop
client on both 2000 machines so they are able to connect to the 2003 machine.
However i can't connect to the 2000 machines from 2003, i have tried using
remote desktops mmc and the remote desktop connection.
When i use the remote desktops MMC it jusy says connecting then disconnected
from server. When i use RDC i get the "client could not connect...Remote
desktop might not be enabled...too busy...network problems" error message.
i don't think my group policy is causing the problem and i have check my
account (an administrator ) has permission to use the RDP connection.
The other thing i found is i can no longer connect between the 2 2000
machines anymore, i get the same "client can not connect" message
i guess it is something to do with 2003 but i can't think what.
