Thanks, davorin.<br />

It looks like my issue is most likely DNS related, as my server is getting a 192 IP address from the other domain, but a 10 address it's domain...

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading. When trying to RDP into a VM, I receive the following error:<br />
<br />
&quot;The RPC server is unavailable.&quot;<br />
<br />
I have a server with Windows Server 2003 running with the VM on it called &quot;finance&quot;.<br />
<br />
Can you help me access this machine once again?<br />
<br />
I've tried rebooting it, and I've taken a look at the services running, unless I'm missing something. I've also tried &quot;net start rpcss&quot; and it's already running it says. I've tried restarting the VM, too.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />
