Hi Rick, Things to do: 1. If you're accessing the terminal services from behind your own ISA Server, make sure you create a protocol rule that allows outbound access to TCP 3389 2. On the machines you want to access, bind the terminal services to the internal interface only. Then publish the terminal server. 3. Create the protocol definition for inbound TCP 3389. Then create the Server Publishing Rule 4. Connect to the remote terminal server. You should have no problems. 5. If you do have problems, run: Netstat -na | find ":3389" And make sure its only listening on the internal interface HTH, Tom Thomas W Shinder www.isaserver.org/shinder ISA Server and Beyond: http://tinyurl.com/1jq1 Configuring ISA Server: http://tinyurl.com/1llp -----Original Message----- From: Richard Parsons [mailto:rick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, February 14, 2003 7:44 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Terminal Services Remote Management Over the Internet http://www.ISAserver.org Hi everyone, It seems that every book I buy never seems to resolve my problems, or my problems never quite fit the issues that are explained within those books, thank heaven for Isa.org and also exchange.org, and I feel a mention for EventId.net is worth a mention. Thanks to all for previous help which has resolved problems for me and thanks in anticipation to my following question. I have been subscribed for a while now and I have noted the help offered freely by some very serious professional people, how some of you find the time within your busy lifestyles I don't know, but I'm sure I speak for the majority it is appreciated!. Anyway my problem is:- I use Small Business server 2000 and I have set up TS on the local domain (SBS 2000 Server Machine), and all works well from any workstation, I have full remote control. I very much need to be able to log on to various clients of mine over the Internet, who are also running SBS 2000 (machines that I have setup and administer on a regular basis). Can anyone point me to a step by step guide on how to achieve this through Terminal Services? or advise if this is the wrong approach. Whenever I try to remotely Administer one of my clients SBS boxes by entering thier fixed IP address, I get the reply "the client could not connect to the Terminal Server. The Server may be too busy. Please try connecting later." Any help much appreciated.
