Great find Brutis, I'll give this a try tomorrow. I know I have 175.16 installed so I'm pretty sure that's it. Thanks! Edit: Yep, that was it. Woo hoo!

Tried that, no go. Just instantly "fails" with no error. RPC is enabled. Looks like I'll have to stick with VNC or reformat. I just wish I knew what I did to break it...

Nice, thorough. Thanks for the rundown list. I don't think my problem is any of those, though. As far as networking, it's the same exact configuration I used before the format, which worked fine for TS. I don't have any firewalls or antivirus installed on either machine, both are behind routers and connecting over VPN. Connectivity is great, as I can ping it fine, browse shares, and access its VNC and HTTP servers. 1) Image slipstreamed with SP3, so whichever version of RDP that comes with (connecting from an SP3 machine as well) 2) Disabled services: Fast User Switching, Network DDE/DSDM, Remote Registry, SSDP, Themes, Firewall/ICS, Wireless Zero Config I should mention that this has happened to me once before with nLite almost 2 years ago: everything was great except TS was broken. I ended up redoing the nLite image from scratch months later and reinstalling with everything working fine. I really think I'm randomly picking some combination of components to remove that are necessary for TS to work since I never work from a previous session configuration. Thanks again.

Sorry if this has already been posted before (couldn't find it in a search), but I recently did a fresh XP32 Pro install with nLite 1.4.5 using a bunch of various tweaks and component removals and everything is great except the computer will not accept remote desktop connections. I didn't remove Terminal Services and I have the "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer" checkbox ticked in the Remote tab of System Properties but it still doesn't work. When I try to connect it will look like it's connecting for a half second and then nothing, ready to connect again. Unfortunately I don't have the configuration I used to create the image since it was done using the same computer before being formatted, but hopefully someone here has either a fix that will re-enable it or could shed some light on what I could have possibly removed or tweaked to make it not work. Thanks in advance!
