Enabling RDP on PCs within domain

[Homerboy]

We just completed a Novell to Win2k3 conversion as described HERE over this past weekend. Thanks to the help of several AT's it was a pretty big success (always some lingering issues of course).

We had a handful of PCs that were accessible via RDP when they were on Novell (default RDP port changed per PC, firewall redirecting traffic).

Once the conversion on the workstation was done, RDP was not working anymore. The port forwards are still in place, but we can not get to these PCs from outside.

My brain is pretty wel fried from the past 4 days or so... if anyone has any suggestions on how to regain access to these PCs it would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Can you hit them via RDP internally?

You can enable RDP individually or on all of them with a GPO, and than change the ports using a registry key; but I'm assuming you already knew that...

No I failed to mention that before. I can't hit them from the inside either.
RDP is enabled and the port is still adjusted in the registry setting.
Is there some setting on the DC itself that I have to adjust for the user or the Computer?
The only thing that has changed on these workstations is that they no longer authenticate through Novell, but now Win2k3 AD

Sometimes that just happens.

Doublecheck that the XP Firewall is open on the required TCP port.
Doublecheck that all "Automatic" Services are running.
Doublecheck that you are receiving GPOs correctly on that PC.

I'm glad your migration went OK.
BTW, your link in the first post is bad. Sorry.
