The RPC server is unavailable, Windows Server 2003.

Hello Everyone,

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
