P2V, then RDP stopped working???

Hi,

So here's the thing.

ESX 3.5 environment, doing a server consolidation at a client, using converter to P2V servers.

Server in question is a Windows 2000 sp4 server running a couple of web apps, and random apps.

Virtualized it, and now the web apps still work, ping works, but no RDP access.

No firewalls either on server or in the intervening network.

We tried re-installing TS, changing from remote admin to application server, rebooted (of course), and threw the kitchen sink at it.

The only thing I can think of is that it somehow bound the RDP connection to the physical nic... address, driver... ?

Has anyone else seen this before?

We had to fail back to the physical because of this, but we want to get rid of that physical server.

I'm open to any and all suggestions.

Thanks,

Tim

Hello,

I have had the same problem. We have converted 3 domain controllers at the same time.

Two domain controllers are working fine. Nothing changed regarding to rdp access. But one domain controller is refusing the rdp connection.

All three machines are the same; w2k3 , SP, updated till Feb 27th 2009.

Our solution: check Terminal Services Configuration. Under connections check the properties of rdp-tcp. Go to tab network adapterand check if 'all network adapters configured with this protocol' is enabled. That was the fix to our problem.
