OK, let's go back one step.
The Terminal Services service should already be installed and
running *before* you install Terminal Services, because it is
needed for remote Desktop for Administration, which comes pre-
installed with the Base OS.
So can you test this: when TS is uninstalled, can you enable Remote
Desktop for Administration (in System - properties - Remote) and
actually use it and make a connection to the server with an rdp
client?
If that isn't possible either, then you know at least that there is
something wrong with the Base OS. But I don't know what, nor what
to do about it, other than blowing the current OS away and install
from scratch.
