Cheers Nick

Your quite right and that would usually be the course of action i’d follow…but they just had the single SBS server

Thanks for that Paulie…another one to remember

What i didn’t put in this post was i tried it remotely first (using an IP address) with no success. It just returned no sessions

I logged onto a PC actually on the domain and tried it (using a name) and it worked

I didn’t include this in the post as i did to experiment more to figure out why it didn’t work

I’m suspecting authentication at the moment

Also – if you’ve got more than one 2003 box with “Terminal Services Manager” installed at the client site, you can use it to manage terminal services on the problem box, and reset the connections through.

This is useful

I’ve had this problem a number of times.

I have found that you can also work around it by specifying an initial program in the terminal services client and providing just “explorer.exe”
