Terminal server does not want to work anymore!!

Hello!

I have a Windows 2000 Advanced server (Active Directory) and I connect to it from a Windows Xp Professional domain client via Terminal Server.

But now the Terminal Server does not seem to accept connections and I have a error message saying (translated from french):

"Network error while trying to connect"

How to let it work again?

Try to stop and restart the "Terminal Services" service.
Is your TS set to Administration mode or Application mode?   If in Application mode,  make sure that you have a TS License server available for license checking or you may receive this "Network" error.

My TS is set to Administration mode.
I have error message when  trying to stop it!!

I uninstalled it, reboot, reinstall and reboot and I always cannot connect to it with the same error message.

The error message appears immediatly after I type the server ip and hit Enter. It doesn't even ask me for a username and password.

I can ping the server and access to shared folders and use UltraVnc.

Terminal Services is started, but I cannot stop it
I tried :

net stop termservice

I got (in french sorry):

La pause ou l'arrêt demandé(e) n'est pas valide pour ce service.

Vous obtiendrez une aide supplémentaire en entrant NET HELPMSG 2191.

@rthriller  -  I have referred this question to my friend instillmotion.  He is very good with Term Serv and understands French :^)   Good Luck.

Thanx FixingStuff...

Instillmotion...

I tried both solutions and this is what happened :

1/ Server-side, the encryption level was set to normal, I set it to normal and still cannot connect. On the client side I do not know where to change encryption level (I am using WinXp Remote Desktop).

2/ In that registry key I only have Certificate value (no Certificate and no X509). I deleted the Cetificate value and tried to stop the Terminal Server in order to restart it but got an error message saying (translated from french) : "Requested pause or stop is not valid for this service. For more help use NET HELPMSG 2191"



1-This setting is defined in the registry on the CLIENT MACHINE as
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-TCP\MinEncryptionLevel .
Low equals this key being set to 1, Medium (or Client Controlled) equals 2, and High encryption equals 3.  If it's at 2 you can leave it there.

2-The registry key I was talking about in the previous post is on the Terminal Services SERVER not the Client. "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermServices\Parameters"

Restore the client one if you removed it from the export you did before deleting it. Then export on the server and delete the keys mentioned above. Reboot the entire server, don't just restart the service.

Let me know how it goes.

It works!!!

Thank you :)
great!
