Re: REMOTE DESKTOP NOT WORKING ANY LONGER PLEASE HELP!

Does it also happen when you start the rdp client with RunAs.. an
use the Administrator account?
Can other clients connect to the same host?

The exact error I am getting when trying to connect is
"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."

This pops up after about 20 seconds of trying to connect.

Also that same day I noticed an X on my network connection icon
in the system tray... when I hovered the mouse over it it said
"Server execution error" so I applied the following fix I found:
Right click "Computer"
Click "Manage"
Under the "System Tools" section, Double click "Local Users and
Groups" Click "Groups"
Right click "Administrators"
Click "Add to group..."
Click "Add"
Click "Advanced"
Click "Find Now"
Double click "Local Service"
Click "Ok"
"NT Authority\Local Service" should show up in the list now
Click "Ok"
Close Computer Management and reboot.

After this the error was gone, but the remote issue started.

Thanks for your help!

How far do you get in the connection process? Do you get an
error message? What is the *exact* text? When exactly do you
get the message? Have you checked the EventLog on the host PC?
Any errors or warning there? You might have to enable auditing
on the host first.
When exactly did the problem start? What was changed
immediately prior to that? Did you run Windows Update? Any
other changes?

Hello, I am new to the boards and figured I would try to see
if anyone has had the same issue I am having. I have Vista
Ultimate, i been remoting in forever. All of a sudden I
cannot. I can ping the PC
I can access shares
I can ftp into it
I checked the RDP port in the registry
I checked the firewall

I have no clue whatelse to check. This has happened to me on
another PC before and I got so frusterated I just rebuilt it.
I don't want to have to do this again, there has to be an
explanation to this issue. Anyone have any ideas??? Thanks in
advance!
