Yes sir - during installs, I always follow a strict set of guidelines
that I created for myself - that is one of the very first things I check
off, immediately after the server boot up for the very first time.  I've
done SO many server installs, I can do it in my sleep - I can honestly
say, I've done around 90 installs (that is just for 2003 Server)....

 

This problem is a REALLY weird one...

 

One thing I need to do, is have the active log run while I am VNC'd in,
so I can see the precise transcript of what's going on when I attempt
the connection.

 

Still, I'd be grateful if you could jog your memory and see if anybody
here has seen anything like this before.  My co-worker is chomping at
the bit to gain access to this server, so he can keep an eye on things
when I am unreachable.  I don't want to give him VNC access, as I can't
lose my console screen - and I too, would rather use RDP as a means of
accessing the server.

 

Thanks again for all your help,

 

Mike

Not to state the obvious, but since this is a new install, you DID go
into computer properties, remote settings, and activate RDP, right?

 

Let's start from there since the firewall itself is seeing the request
succeed.

Subject: [isalist] Unable to RDP into the ISA Server, after installing
ISA 2006 (with sp1)

 

Hello All,

 

Very weird problem - 

 

After installing ISA 2006, I am unable to RDP into the machine (and yes,
I am coming from a Remote Management authorized computer).

 

The weird part is, once I hit the connect button, it proceeds to login,
but then immediately aborts the process.  If I look in the event log on
the ISA Server, it says that I had a successful login & logout attempt.

 

It's almost as if, the Client on MY side is the one aborting the
connection - but I don't get an error dialog popping up or anything like
that.  Just a FYI, I have 40 other profiles setup on my system that I
use regularly with my RDP client, and there are no problems logging into
ANY other server.

 

Is there any place I should start looking first, in order to diagnose
this problem?

 

Thanks in advance for all your help,

 

Mike
