Mac Forum / Applications / Other MS Products / October 2005RDC can't connect to windows 2003 server
Hello everyone, RDC suddenly stopped working on my mac. I'm using os x 10.4.2 and a VPN connection to my office from home. The VPN works fine but RDC does not. I get the following error message : "The client could not connect to the remote computer. Either remote connections are not enabled, the computer is too busy to accept ew connections, or network problems are preventing your connection. Try connecting again later or contact your administrator." I've heard that this is a licensing issue. The problem is I can't delete the license on my mac because there is no "Microsoft" folder inside the users/shared directory. I'm logged in as the admin and I can't see that folder. So how can I delete the license (if this is in fact what causes the problem)? Do I have to make a successful connection in order for this folder to be created (i.e. users/shared/microsoft)? Please help! Thanks, Noam. > Hello everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > I've heard that this is a licensing issue. Hi Noam! It may be a licensing issue if you're connecting to a Windows 2000 or 2003 Terminal Server. If you're connecting to a Windows XP Professional computer, then licensing won't come into play. Try a little troubleshooting. Use the Network Utility in /Applications/Utilities to verify that you can ping the computer you're trying to connect to. The Traceroute feature will allow you to see the hops you're making to get to your machine. Something may be getting blocked. Also, verify that the computer you're trying to connect to does indeed still have the service turned on and that incoming connections aren't being blocked by a local firewall that has been enabled. Hope this helps! bill  SignatureWilliam M. Smith (Microsoft Interop MVP) >> Hello everyone, >> [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > Hope this helps! bill Well, it's still not working. I'm sure it's a license issue but I can't delete the license on my mac because there is no "Microsoft" folder inside the users/shared directory. Anyone know how to reslove this? The problem is license..... Maybe I can do something on the server side? |
