Server 2008 - "Access Denied" on login attempt

[eyetea]

Hi all,

 

Having an issue with one of our servers thats primarily used for our cashless catering. It's a Win 2008 physical server - yesterday finance pointed out they couldn't connect to their catering program. Cashless is still working downstairs however!

 

I attempted to RDP to it and I'm met with "Access Denied". However if I RDP via run > mstsc /admin /v:servername it allows me to connect.

 

Not really sure where to start looking for this one! Any pointers would be greatly received!

 

Edit: In Eventvwr under Security it looks like there are 4 events - 3 logon/1logon but no error in with it

What firewall are you using ? forefront TMG ? Smoothwall ? We had this issue and it turned out to be our Forefront TMG denying access. Also make sure that in the RDP settings you have allowed the users you want to RDP or set it to less secure setting.

Hi Dave,

 

Smoothwall here. RDP settings set as per all other servers!
