Mission to Remote Desktop INTO Windows Server 2012 (standalone).
Situation:
- Control Panel, System, Remote Settings, Remote Desktop – Allow
- All firewalls off
- Connect attempt using a known IP address (ping works ok)
- Connect Option as a user who has already logged on.
Error message:
Remote Access Cannot Connect
1) Remote access not enabled
2) Remote computer turned off
3) Remote computer not available
Additional info:
- The Server 2012 can RDC OUT.
- The machines I use to connect IN are Windows 7 and Windows 8, they will RDC to other machines.
- I have fair experience of configuring remote desktop.
Question:
Is this a fault of beta software on the 2012 server, or is there a new way of getting RDC to work that I am missing?
Are both on the local network? (I haven't had a chance to test yet, but, this would be the first obvious question). If you don't get an answer in a few hours, I will try to install and test this. – William Hilsum – 2012-06-27T09:28:58.083
Yes, both on the same subnet. The machine is dual boot. When booted into Server 2008 R2 RDC works. But not in Server 2012. – Guy Thomas – 2012-06-27T13:58:15.617
Mabe you need to enable "Remote Desktop" for Domain, Private or Public in "Allow apps to communicate throught Windows Firewall" Cheers – None – 2014-03-14T13:28:04.833
