We have just upgraded our PDC (running Win NT 4.0 Ent. Edition) to Win 2k Adv. Server in preperation of running DC Promo to make it the first DC (and PDC Emulator) in our new AD Domain. We did just the basic install of Win NT, as a BDC, promoted itto a PDC, then upgraded to Win2k. That went fine. Ran DC Promo, created our new domain. I then went back and installed Terminal Services/Remote Admin mode and that seemed to go fine as well, but I can't connect to this server via Terminal Services. I can manage the Terminal Services via the "Terminal Services Manager" MMC, and it shows up in the list of available terminal servers when adding it as a connection in the Terminal Services Connections MMC. As part of this project we also built a new W2k server that we promoted to a DC (the 2nd in our new domain). I can control that one just fine. Haven't been able to find any artlcles on Technet regarding TS not working after upgrading from NT 4 to Win2k.
Help!

1.Are you making sure you are using the client version that came with w2k?
2.Also make sure you have connectivity and updated the DDND server to point to your TS server.
3.If you can't still connect by name, try connecting be the static IP on the server!
4.Also look at the server and make sure the TS service is running.

The service is running. I'm trying to connect many ways...via TSAC, the Terminal Connections MMC, the latest client. I've tried via name & IP, Not sure what you are talking about when referring to DDND server. This is just a Win2k server running TS in Remote Admin mode for Administrative connections only. Thanks for your answer

What mode are you running in? Application mode or Remote Admin mode. It seems like you should be running in Application mode. If not it may be causing some problems.

Mode is Remote Admin Mode. DO NOT need to run in application mode as this is a WIN2k Domain Controller, not a "Terminal Server" for users. We only remote administration of this machine.
