I just installed a Windows 2008 Standard R2 server with RDS. Whenever I attempt to connect to the server via RDP from a Windows 2003 server, I get the following error.

I am however able to connect from a Windows 7 desktop and using a Linux RDP client.

Anyone know why I'm getting this error and how to resolve the problem?

Thank you in advance.

This is probably a Server Fault question, but none the less my guess is the server has the following setting:

Maybe your Linux RDP client doesn't support this functionality?

If not, check your Firewall, it needs to look like this:

  • Actually, its on the middle option. Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop. I didn't start having the problem until RDS was installed. – Craig Efrein Sep 13 '12 at 11:02
  • The firewall is completely disabled. – Craig Efrein Sep 13 '12 at 11:06
  • You might want to turn that on, but is the `Allow Remote Connections` checkbox grayed out and ticked or grayed out and not ticked? – JMK Sep 13 '12 at 11:07
  • There you go, you need to ask somebody with Admin rights to tick it! – JMK Sep 13 '12 at 11:08
