RDP no longer connects to 2003 servers

[jrwinterburn]

Once of the PC's in my office seems to have a problem, but only under one profile.

The user can no longer connect to any Windows Server 2003 server using remote desktop (version 6.0). He used to be able to, but now if he tries any server, it instantly says it cannot contact the server.

He can telnet to any of these servers on 3389, and ping them, and if I logon to his PC with a different user account, I can connect to any server using RDP. Seems to be just a problem on his profile, that happened all of a sudden.

I have reinstalled mstsc 6.0 and have ensured he is a local admin on his pc and that he has "allow logon to terminal server" against his profile in active directory. All to no avail. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Jon

Thanks for the links - I guess I will just have to rebuild his profile.
