Hello,
I'm having a problem with my Windows Server 2008 R2. After uninstalling the Remote Desktop Session Host Server Role, I can't connect to the machine from remote anymore. I've tried with clients both from Windows 8 and other Windows Server 2008 R2 but with no luck.
When I try to connect, I get the error message that the Remote Desktop client can't connect to the remote compute for one of these reasons:
1) remote access to the server is not enabled.
2) the remote computer is turned off.
3) the remote computer is not available on the network.
On the Server Manager, Remote Desktop is flagged as Enabled. In the System Properties - Remote tab, the option "Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop (less secure)" is checked.
The computer is ON and it is connected to the network. I can browse the Internet and the server can be pinged from remote. The Firewall is completely OFF (public, private and domain profile).
I ran the Remote Desktop client both with the IP address and the domain name....same result.
Is there anything else I should check? I am honestly clueless about the cause of this issue.
Thank you,
Filippo
