I've searched and found similar issues, but this one is interesting.
I am trying to remote desktop connect to a win2k3 server in our domain. When doing so I get the following error:
The RPC server is unavailable.
Please try again or consult your system administrator.
I was able to connect fine until today, the only changes have been an installation of SQL Server 2005 and a recruiting tool called WinSearch. The strange thing is I have mapped network drives on this particular server that I can access with no problem. Also, when I try to login locally to the server, it just hangs during the login process. I enter user name and password, and it hangs for about an hour.
Any ideas?
Thanks

SQL server is also running on our server, but local login has been working fine. I just can't remote in without getting the "RPC serve is unavailable" error.

I am having a similiar issue on my W2K3 SP2 Server however the TCP/IP service and RDP service are both running. I do not have any problems logging in at the console but I had to drive 550 miles to do so and have now installed VNC to gain access remotely.

I had problem with one of my server after taking snapshot of server through Alteris. I had to call to Microsoft and they solved my issue putting this registry value.
