Board index » Windows Vista » Remote Desktop into Vista fails

Windows Vista14
In Vista Business on our AD domain I configured Remote Desktop to allow

connections from computers running any version of remote desktop. I added the

needed users as DOMAIN\username. Windows Firewall has an exeception for

Remote Desktop checked, but it is turned off anyway. When I try to connect

from a W2k3 server using RDP 6 client, I get message 'This computer can't

connect to the remote computer." The Vista machine can remote into other

machines on the domain, and that server can connect into other machines on

the domain. What should I look at on the Vista machine?

When you try to logon are you using domain\user credentials, or local

credentials to the machine? Have you tried logging in as the domain admin?



I would also double check the firewall to make sure they are properly

configured. I know you've done this but never hurts to double check.
