Problem with Remote Desktop Connection on Server 2003

by gman478 . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

I just accepted a new position and one of my first tasks is to determine why remote desktop connection isn’t allowing connections on a server running Server 2003. The server is acting as a domain controller as well as a file server. If I use remote desktop connection on the server I can access a workstation. But if I try to connect to the server via the workstation I get an error that says “The computer can’t connect to the remote computer.”

I have tried connecting with both the IP and name of the server and it doesn’t seem to matter. I have looked settings to make sure it will allow a connection and it will. What are some other things I can try to correct this problem?
