Vista - VM/Remote Desktop/Firewall Issue

12-25-2008

Hi,

I have Windows XP SP3 running as a VM in Virtual Server 2005R2 on Windows
Server 2003R2 x64. I enabled Remote Desktop connections in the VM, and I
double checked that it put a Remote Desktop exception in Windows firewall.
However, the VM will not accept Remote Desktop connections unless I
completely turn off Windows Firewall. This is same for connections
attempted from the Server 2003 desktop or a seperate XP workstation on the
LAN.

Any suggestions?

My suggestion is to go and ask in the more appropriate newsgroup
microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely where specific features of
WindowsXP remote desktop is discussed.

This ng is for the virtual server itself and its peculiarities, it
does not cover what you ask.
