Do a test lab and learn things. You should read /study a lot about, DNS, Active Directory management/trouble shooting, Group policies etc.. Referring a good book or getting trained are the best options too.

Hello Guys,

I followed your instructions and everything appears to going ok. However, I can no longer RDP into the server.

Remote Desktop is enabled as you can see, but RDP wont work.


Any ideas?

Cheers

Carlton

Hello Experts,

RDP can't even get past first base and initiate a connection anymore ...

Experts,

There has to be something blocking access... but I have disable the firewall ....

unless you changed the port it should be port 3389

Zac,

The firewall is completely disabled.

David, I changed the port to 3393.

The thing is, I could RDP to the server before taking your suggestions

Regards

Experts,

I'm in.

Disabled firewall services

Cheers

Cheers
