RDP to VM

[JATSO]

Hi All,

 

Anyone came across this error before, I can connect to the other Server VM no problem, but not this one.

 

I can see it in network discovery, i can ping it, I can login to it using Hyper V.

 

I have checked port 3389

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Have you tried accessing it from a different machine? Maybe remote into the working server and use that as a "Jump" point into the broken one?

 

I've only seen this error once and it was through an RD Gateway. Can't remember what fixed it though as it seemed to sort itself out.

Anything good in the event logs? Client and server.

Try restarting Explorer services or the whole VM given you can connect to it via the Hyper-V host.

So after doing a bit of fishing I have discovered that port 3389 UDP is being used by SQL Server Browser which was installed by our sims support team as its our SIMSSVR and according to all info RDP needs 3389 or does it not?

 

Can i change the RDP port?

Can I change it SQL Browser port?

How do i change it?

Will I mess up the Sims?

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Ask the SIMS support team whether they meant to do that? It seems an... odd choice.

I have done that awaiting reply. Thanks

RDP can be any port you like, however you should change the SQL Server Browser port to the default (1434 I believe?) no reason it should be on 3389.

 

I'm actually quite surprised that SQL even allows you to change the port to something non standard.

The RDP port can be changed via the registry:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber

 

You would then need to specify the port when connecting to the computer in question each time eg:

 

server.domain.com: or 192.168.1.1:1234

Thanks everyone figured it out in the end.

 

Much appreciated.
