RDP problem

Question

Windows server vm at vmware vcenter not accepting any user name or password while accessing via RDP however in vcenter console it accepting user name and password

Answer 1

What is the exact error message that you are getting?

Did you enable remote desktop services on the server? Did you check the firewall rules both on the server and any network based firewalls that you may have in place?

Open a Powershell prompt on the client machine and verify that it can connect to port 3389 on your server.

Test-NetConnection -ComputerName YourServerName -CommonTCPPort RDP

Log on to the server and verify that the remote desktop services are running and listening on 3389.

netstat.exe -aon |findstr.exe -i listen | findstr.exe 3389

Also check the security eventlog and look for logon failures for the account that you are attempting to log in with.

Have you viewed instructional videos like this one that shows how to enable RDP?
