I need assistance with configuring my Windows 2008 Terminal server to allow RDP access to other computers on the local domain from the Internet. &nbsp;I would turn the TSWEB into an RDP portal.<br />
<br />
TSWEB is installed and working. I can connect to the TSs desktop from the Internet using TSWEB along with remote apps which I am not using.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
When I access TSWEB and choose the Remote Desktop option on the web page, I am given the option to connect to another computer. If enter the name of a computer on the same network the terminal server resides, I am rejected. The system states it cant find computer xyz&nbsp;and try again<br />
. <br />
From what I can understand, is that TSWEB is trying to resolve computer xyz&nbsp;using an Internet DNS and sense the computer name doesnt exist, it is denied. <br />
<br />
First, is it possible to do what I ask? To allow RDP access to domain computers through the terminal server?<br />
<br />
Second, IF so, how do I configure TS to look inward to resolve these host names?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
