RDP into Server 2012 Standard Issue

I have a new 2012 standard server, set up as a DC, not a part of my domain nor will it be. I have enabled Remote Desktop access, firewall is off, and I believe I have correctly configured RDP services on the machine (it will primarily be a "terminal server"). I can RDP to other machines on my domain from it. RDP services appear to be started and running appropriately, or at least the ones I am familiar with.

But no matter what I do or configure, I can NOT rdp into the 2012 server from my Win7 machine or any other machine on my domain.

The server came from a software company who actually performed the install and configuration, and from what I can tell/find, they did nothing to prevent RDP access into the server.

I'm at a loss at this point as to why I can't rdp into this thing.

I have checked the registry locations, both are fine.
No applications are currently listening on port 3389.
No encryptions exists, nor custom firewall policy.

Not sure where to look for the TDP-TCP properties you mentioned.

So I called the software company to verify if they changed something I can't find to prevent me accessing this port. They did.

They changed the default port from 3389. However, when I check this in the registry, it says the port is 3389. What gives?

Splitting points for both efforts to diagnose issue. Had to do some more of my own leg work to find the correct issue, but you definitely pointed me in the right direction, and helped to eliminate some other causes.
