Enabling Remote Desktop on 2kserver

[as896]

Just installed a new DC for our company, it is 2kserver and I wonder if someone could help me out to enable the remote desktop so that i can remotely connected to it from my xp machine. At the moment I am using VNC which is running between the 2kserv and xp machine, the problem is, it is too slow.

Help me to do this please. It may be I should check the services then remote connection.

right click "My Computer" > Remote tab > check "Allow Users to Connect Remotely to this Computer"

you need to do this on the viewing client aswell.

It's not that easy on 2000 server the terminal server component needs installing first.

I have tried this, but not working for me anymore. All I want is to allow remote desktop on the 2kserver.

If you install TS and config it for Remote Administration mode, that's all you need to connect to it from within your environment.

Are you getting any errors? Anything in the event log?

Which mode did you set the TS on the server. IF you set it for administration mode only, then only an administrator can log onto the server from remote desktop.
