It helps if you are actually on the domain!

    I have remote desktop connection enabled. I've added my self and the Administrator account. When I try to login remotely I get:

    When I try logging to remote desktop via localhost I get access denied error. The same occurs when I try remotely, except it says "username or password is not correct"

    The terminal server is running, I checked this in services.

    I am using the exact same username/password combo for both the local and remote logins. I can log on the physical machine just fine using the password/username combos.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply Dan! Just a heads up this is a different machine than earlier. That didn't seem to do the trick.

    Is this server a domain controller?

    Dan, Yeah it is. I just checked and I can't log on to the domain nor ping the fully qualified.

    What services need to be running for the DC to be working.

    See my comments to Dan. I don't think that not being able to login remotely is the problem, but rather a symptom of the problem. Thanks!

    I checked and all the services seem to be up that windows requires....DNS and then all the AD related services as well.
