Hello, I have a problem with RDS (Remote Desktop) on a Windows 7 machine. It worked fine for the past 2 years. Error: The computer cant connect to the remote computer. First I checked some settings: - RDP enabled (also tried to disable, reboot en then enable) - Registry: fEnableWinStation (1) - Firewall is disabled - RDP / RDS services are running Problem: - RDP/RDS is not listening - qwinsta command: rdp-tcp is not listed - netstat an command: no listener on port 3389 (rdp is configured to use the default port, 3389) I also checked the RDP Winstation driver and the Remote Desktop Services Security Filter Driver. - Statup type: Demand - Problem: Both are NOT started. When I start them manually, or set the startup type to boot and then reboot the drivers will start, but it makes no difference. Still not listening on 3389. Does someone know a solution besides reinstall the OS. Thanks.

Hi I have got exactly the same issue on an SBS 2008 domain. Let me know how you get on. Gordon

Hi, Firstly, I would like to check when did this issue happen? Whether you have tried installed some software or updates? Meanwhile, please try to perform a system restore to check the result. Also check the server settings, here is a similar thread: Terminal Services/ Remote Desktop not working Hope this helps. Vincent Wang TechNet Community Support

Hi It has happened in the last month or so - not 100% as I only noticed when I went to remote into a Pc and it didn't work!! I have tried the registry compare ways as well in the other thread and no luck. There is nothing in the event log either. The remote assistant has some entries but none in the RDP section. Is there an easy way to delete the whole TS hive? Gordon

Hi, Our situation is exactly the same. This is also an 2008sbs environment. The problem only occurs on one systeem. Does anyone know if there is a way of completely reinstall (or reset) the rdp? Leon

Same here on a Windows 7 Pro machine. RDP worked fine for the last year, but suddenly stopped working about a week ago. Services are running, but no listener on 3389 (and no, I didn't change the default port :-)). Rodi.

Hi Leon, I would like to check whether you tried the? What is the result? Regards,Vincent Wang TechNet Community Support
