Remote Desktop Connection can't connect to Windows Server 2012
- by Guy Thomas
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?
