All user in the office cannot connect to any of the computers in the office using RWW externally.
SO far we can log in as the user. and the user is setup for remote on this PC.
I log into the RWW site and i do see the computer.
I click on connect and it does ask for Domain\username and password.
When i put the Domain\username and password in it does not go through.
all the permissions are correct. I made it a trusted site and used compatibility view.
Its a SBS2011 server in virtual.

Have you tried another browser?
ASKER
no Just internet explorer. Ill try Mozilla
Can only use IE for RWA because RWA requires ActiveX
A couple of things:
There is likely a mis-match in the remote desktop client. Get the latest version of Remote Desktop Client you can find and install on XP
Then IE must be placed in compatibility mode and you need to add the rwa URL to trusted sites on the win 8 computers in IE

Just updated the client to 7.0
Still not logging in.
It is a secure site and is running in compatibility mode.

SBS 2011 does not need activ x for rdp.
I use FF all the time.
You could try run as admin with IE.

Can you upload a screen shot of what happens after you enter the authentication details please.
Is the Remote Desktop gateway service started?

Yes it is started. I can rdp inside the network but not outside the network through RWW.
DO you think its a port thatis not open on the router?

ASKER
HTTPS is the only port you need. If you're getting to the RWW then you've done all you need in terms of ports on the router.
ASKER
thats all it tells me
and the credentials are correct

Are you defining the domain name as well?
Domain\username

ASKER
yes
Have you built this server or taken over it?
If you've built it have you ever adjusted any Remote Desktop settings on the server in the past?

Ok...let's differentiate what exactly you are trying to do.
Your subject says RWW (now RWA...Remote Wed Access). This infers that you have a remote computer that is opening IE and putting in something like https://remote.domainname.com/remote this then asks you for username and password. Upon success authentication, you get a webpage, which gives you the option to connect to a computer.
Is this what we are talking about?

ASKER
yes correct. I click on computer. its asks for credentials. and that's all it does. It gives me the log in attempt failed
ASKER
NO we took over this server.
The company that set it up before did not use the console to setup the users. They created a OU in active directory users and computers and created the users there.
They set it up like it was a enterprise server. they had no clue how to setup a small business server.

ASKER
But the user im testing on I created in the console and gave it the correct permissions through the console.
Then the instructions I provided previously should resolve your problem
I would also encourage you to install and run the SBS 2011 Best Practice Advisor and on the SBS Console to run the Fix My Network Wizard just to be sure.

ASKER
I did everything you told me to do earlier. so ill run Best practice advisor and ill let you know what it comes up with.
ASKER
Weird I installed BPA and ran a scan and it only found 2 things compliant. usually it finds a whole list when I scan other servers.
And it found nothing uncompliant.
And it found nothing uncompliant.
ASKER
I'm thinking there might be a role or feature that is not installed.
is your BPA version updated to 1.5? if not the results are not valid
ASKER
trying to find the download for the 1.5. Im trying windows update to see if it finds it.

Bad idea.
You need to check if the users are members of the RWW group.

yes it gets updated by Windows Update
given your previous post...you need to verify that the users are in the right security group...had they done it correctly the default GPO would have kicked in for that

ASKER
They created a custom GPO i looked in it and did not find anything that blocked RDP
ASKER
The fix my network wizard should find and repair this
ASKER
do you think that error that I posted is the main reason we are not able to connect to the computers externally
Yes it's possible. Although I would expect a slightly different error.
Are they using a self signed cert or 3rd party cert?
ASKER
3rd Party. Go Daddy
That rdp bound error is a red herring.
I have the same error on a couple of my SBS 11 servers and it works fine with rww.

Does Outlook Web Access work? if so, this would indicate that External DNS, cert and correct port is being forwarded.
Have you updated the RDP client on the XP machines?
Have you added the RWA site to the trusted sites on the Win 8 machines?
Have you placed IE on the Win 8 machine in compatibility view and then tried to make the connection?

It is a trusted site and it is in Compatibility mode

So after the update...is there any change? If you're still getting an error message, is it the same or different?
Did this work before the home users switched to Windows 8 PC's at home?

Did you give the remote rights from the SBS Console? If you've just done it on the PC then it will fail as you need to give it via the user in the console.
Presuming RDP works internally?
