When building the server on the workbench, I could rdp to the server. Then when I moved it into the Production rack, I can't RDP to the Server. I have to rdp to another server that I can connect to and then rdp from that server to the server that I could not directly rdp to on another subnet of the enterprise. One is a 2008R2 server, another is a 2003R2 server on the other subnet and yet another is 2003 imbedded server on the same subnet.

Is RDP (port 3389) blocking blocking on that subnet from your workbench subnet?Santhosh Sivarajan | MCTS, MCSE (W2K3/W2K/NT4), MCSA (W2K3/W2K/MSG), CCNA, Network+ Houston, TX http://blogs.sivarajan.com/ http://publications.sivarajan.com/ This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hello, Thank you for your post here. From the description, you have: New server Another Server | | | | |---------------------------- ||Router | || clients You cannot RDP to the new server from clients in different subnet. However, you can RDP to another server in the subnet where the new server is located and then RDP to the new server. If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know. 1. Can you Ping the new server from clients? Can you access other resources from clients to the new server? 2. What will happen if you temporarily disable the Windows Firewall on the new server? If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Any update on the issue?Santhosh Sivarajan | MCTS, MCSE (W2K3/W2K/NT4), MCSA (W2K3/W2K/MSG), CCNA, Network+ Houston, TX http://blogs.sivarajan.com/ http://publications.sivarajan.com/ This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
