what does event viewer say?
My guess would be that it was disabled through policies. Try turning on the service

Hi,

Did you install Terminal Services, if you didn't go to the add/remove programs, then windows components and install terminal Services.

quess you didn't read the white paper.

When you install Windows Server for the first time, the installation Wizard asks if you want terminal services to be for remote admin or application. default is remote admin but if you picked application, remote admin is not available to you.

Therefore if you installed Windows terminal services as Remote Admiun , unless this is a member server of a domain in which a Group Policy specifically denies Remote Desktop, you should have that available to you.
