Unable to connect to Windows 2000 Terminal Server.

[Pradeep Deviprasad]

Hi,

I am Unable to connect to a Windows 2000 Terminal Server.

OS: = Windows 2K SP3.
Terminal Server Mode: = Remote Administration.

When you use the Terminal Services Configuration snap-in
(Tscc.msc), the transport (RDP-Tcp) appears to be present
and working. However, when you view the transport by using
Terminal Services Manager (Tsadmin.exe), the RDP-TCP
listener is reported as "Down 65536."

Checked MSKB's 270588 and 312030, but was not helpful.

Any help in this regard is appreciated

Thanks,
Pradeep Deviprasad.

Anything in the EventLog?
Have you tried to recreate the rdp-tcp connection?

Hi Vera,

Nothing in the EventLog. Had recreated the RDP-Tcp
Connection couple of times.

Had tried to Remove & then Add Terminal Services.

MSKB 258021, did not resolve the problem.

Thanks,
Pradeep Deviprasad.

Just a shot in the dark, but try putting these registry
entries into your registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Termin
al
Server\VIDEO]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Termin
al
Server\VIDEO\rdpdd]
"VgaCompatible"="\\Device\\Video0"
"\\Device\\Video0"="\\REGISTRY\\Machine\\System\\CurrentCon
trolSet\\Services
\\RDPDD\\Device0"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Termin
al
Server\VIDEO\vdtw30]
"\\Device\\Video0"="\\REGISTRY\\Machine\\System\\CurrentCon
trolSet\\Services
\\vdtw30\\Device0"
"VgaCompatible"="\\Device\\Video0"

For the most part, you might want to just remove these
portions of your registry, then throw the above into
a .reg file and import it all in one lump sum.
