Windows 2012 R2 Remote desktop stopped working

Hello All,

I have lost the ability to make remote desktop connections to some of my 2012R2 servers. The firewalls are all "off" and I even took the step of removing Symantec Antivirus from one of the problem machines, but I still have the issue.

This is the error I receive when I try to make RDC connections. I have checked to make sure the remote desktop service is running.

I see that port 3389 is "Listening" when I have done netstat -a

Any help is appreciated.

Is that server pingable over network?

this might the issue with NIC properties.. See if the gateway and DNS is pingable....

It's pingable. It's running.
Try the below list first:

  • You can ping both ways?
  • Windows Firewalls are turned off?
  • Anti-Virus/Firewall turned off?
  • Both machines have the same time (nothing like kerberos throwing this out)?
  • You are connecting with an account that has the correct permissions?
  • Are you able to log into this machine locally with account?
  • Have you tried RDP via name and IP address?

I can ping both ways
Firewalls are off (Domain), I also checked
I uninstalled Anti-Virus from one of the machines and it didn't help
I have console access
I verified that time synchronization is working
I have admin access
Name and IP address have both been tried without success
What is the connection like?

Are you RDPing from a LAN to LAN machine or it is a LAN to a machine across a Site-to-Site or LAN to external machine?

LAN to LAN. It's only 6 machines out of 100
