Re: Remote Desktop for Win 2003 Just Quit!

What happens when you try to connect as Administrator?
Any error message?
Have you checked the rdp-tcp permissions?

By default, Administrators are allowed to logon through TS, but
hey, if the TS service can be disabled without your knowledge, all
bets are off :-(
If I were you, I'd reinstall this server from scratch, because it
obviously isn't a reliable testserver anymore.

Well after playing around today I found that Terminal Services
was disabled in the Services menu. How this happened I have no
idea. This is my test server and I know I did not disable the
service.

I an able to log on as a users that I added but I can't log on
as the Administrator.

Gets stranger and stranger!

Either I am loosing it or there are ghosts in the machine. Last
week I was here seeking help to get a user to be able to use
remote desktop to our server. I was able to get her setup and
everything was just fine. I first set this up on my test server
and everything was working just fine.

Today I went to use Remote Desktop and I started getting the
error The Client could not connect to the remote computer
Remote connections might not be enabled on the computer.....

I did a search of the MS Knowledge Base and found a new document
dated May 14th referring to a hot fix for Windows XP. Well I
tried to connect with my XP machine and my Vista machine and
both would not connect to my test server. I tried to connect to
another server at another client and I could connect just fine.

Is there a Service Pack for Windows 2003 server that has come
down that might have killed my Remote Desktop connection?

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Ron
