Hello there i hope you can help me with this(i'm a newbie on windows server 2008r2)

i clicked accidentally on disable remote connection on the server(i can't remember which button) and now i can't use remote desktop anymore(i have ten computers on my network and i'm using windows server 2008R2 thanks in advance

Is this a domain controller or domain member?

 

You can check the first place, Properties of Computer, Remote tab.

It's a new server so there's nothing configured in it

I get this message when i try to connect via remote desktop to the server "Remote Desktop cant't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:

Remote access to the server is not enabled

The remote computer is turned off

The remote computer is not available in the network

As Tripredacus said - Turn it back On Here (that's where you must have turned it off).

You can check the first place, Properties of Computer, Remote tab.

That's the "button" you must have pressed. If it's disabled on the Server (or any machine) you can't get to the Server (or any machine) via RDP.

 

Right-Click "Computer", click "Properties", open it and there's the "Remote" setting/tab (in Control Panel->System).

 

HTH

 

(Pssst - turn it back on... )

In my experience, that message means:

- RDP is disabled

- Firewall rule was changed (some configs you need to allow RDP through the firewall after enabling it)

- connectivity issues

For the third one, if you are using a computer name, try also FQDN and/or IP address. If you are certain the server is up, allow ICMP response in the firewall settings (if not already) and verify you can ping it.

Thanks to every body for your answers.

I tried to go to properties everything seems to be fine. I use the ip address of the server to acces to it. This is really frustrating. I also tried to change the fdenytsconnections register value from 1 to 0 and it didn't help. Please help it has been like this for 15 days now

Which RDP setting are you set for now?

Start ---> Run, services.msc and check if any of the Remote Desktop services are set as disabled. If there's any, enable and start it.
