| | Remote Desktop Error I am trying to RDP into a "VISTA for business workstation" and I get the following error "Your account has been disabled. Please see your system Administrator" * Remote Desktop has been enabled from the REMOTE TAB | SYSTEM PROPERTIES * Remote Desktop has been enabled from the Firewall Exception TAB. * I am using the Local\Administrator account, which is enabled. Whether I prefix the local host or not does not make a difference * I am connecting from a Windows 2003 Server SBS Is there an extra configuration for VISTA that I am not aware of, maybe in local policy?? Thanks, ---- Nicki |

| | Re: Remote Desktop Error Hi, Are you using "an" administrator account or "the" administrator account. The latter is not normally enabled and shouldn't be. You should be logging in using your admin-level account (and really, this too is an unsafe practice, a standard user account is what the majority should be using). Also, make sure you are set to receive RD connections from any version of Windows on the Remote tab. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "NickiBoy" <NickiBoy@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:8D3A8209-3CAC-4300-ABAD-751A78D97111@xxxxxx Quote: >I am trying to RDP into a "VISTA for business workstation" and I get the > following error "Your account has been disabled.

| | Re: Remote Desktop Error Rick, Thanks for your help. This was my 1st experience w/ VISTA. I was not aware that the "ADMINISTRATOR " account is disabled by default. ---- Nick "Rick Rogers" wrote: Quote: > Hi, > > Are you using "an" administrator account or "the" administrator account.
