I recently took over the role of Systems Administrator for a small music company. We have 3 servers running Windows Server 2003. One is exchange and the Active Directory, one is a staging and testing ground for the developers of our website, the third no one really knows what it is for. I have discovered it manages Symantec Security and propagates Windows Updates to the workstations.
I have been asked to setup a remote desktop solution for the developers workstations. I have set up the computers for remote desktop by turning it on in the remote tab of computer properties I have changed the port to ensure that it is not blocked, as well I have configured the firewall on the local machine and the router as well I have opened up Nat. I cannot connect to remote computer. that is the error when i try to remote from another workstation in the office. I am the admin and have a local admin user setup as well. I have tried turning off all the firewalls to try to narrow down the issue. This did not help. group policy for remote desktop has a no beside it but remote assistance and offer remote assistance are grayed out and part of group policy.
The Workstation is running windows Xp Pro SP3.
Is this even possible on a workstation under the domain control of Windows Server 2003?
Any suggestions where I’m going wrong?
Any settings I have missed?
If you need more info I am happy to provide it.
