Publish static routes remotely on to a domain member

Hi,
Two servers on the same subnet, FTMG is joined to the DC, the DC's gateway was pointed to a hardware firewall before the correct static routes are configured. now i can only access FMTG, ping the DC but unable to mstsc it.

Is there anyway that I can configure the routes on the DC without logging in to it?

The gateway of the DC was pointed to FTMG's IP, after which i lost connectivity to it, nothing else was changed.

Akhater

I understood this part, however since the FTMG and the DC are in the same subnet, and you are able to mstsc to the FTMG, you should be able to mstsc to the DC FROM the FTMG

so open mstsc to the FTMG and then FROM FTMG to the DC

Not working, although i can ping the DC from FTMG..

Akhater

then it can't be a default gateway issue, you don't need a DG to communicate with someone on your own subnet

On FTMG do you have a rule to allow it to communicate with internal clients ?
can you mstc from FTMG to any other server ?

solowz

ASKER

Yes there is a rule allowing all traffic from Internal network to local host.
I tried to mstsc the FTMG itself and it did prompt me for credentials.

Akhater

maybe then try to reboot your DC

shutdown -r -m \\dcname -t 0

solowz

ASKER

still nothing...

Akhater

can you \\dcame ? access the file shares ?

solowz

ASKER

Yes!

Akhater

You can ping and you can access file shares, so it is either that the RDP service on the DC is down or that the windows firewall turned on on the DC.

Try to open computer manager and connect to the dc can you ?

solowz

ASKER

Can't find the where to do that

Akhater

you DC and your FTMG are they on 2008 or 2008 R2

solowz

ASKER

FTMG is Windows 2008 Std. and DC is Windows 2008 R2 Std.

Akhater

then start run mmc -> file add/remove snap-ins -> computer management and try to connect to the DC

solowz

ASKER

ok, connected. i checked the Routing & Remote Access services and they are down, when trying to access it it showed "you do not have permission to access" stop message, entered the domain admin credentials, it showed "multiple connections to shared resources or using the same username..." error message

Akhater

why do you want to enable routing and remote access ?
you shld be looking for the remote desktop service

solowz

ASKER

Remote Desktop Services status is started

Akhater

ok browse the event logs then anything relevant

solowz

ASKER

nothing relevant was logged with the current time on either servers.

Akhater

I am sorry then I am out of options, it should be the Windows Firewall that turned out or something like that

Made a point, but couldn't get a solution.
