I have a 2008 R2 server that has been running for years. I can RDP into this server and have Terminal Services running nad have 5 people who RDP into this server everyday without any problems. Lets call this server A
I am trying to connect from this server to another remote server called B. But RDP does not work. It will try to connect for about a minute and then return an error saying "try connecting again, if the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote computer .... ".
I then tried to connect via RDP to various other servers, say C, D and E, but no outgoing RDP connection is established. Whereas these remote servers are working because form my laptop, or any other machine in the office (behind the same firewall / router, using the same IP), I can easily RDP into machine B,C,D or E. So there is nothing blocking outgoing connection on my office router/firewall and the remote machines have no issues accepting incoming RDP connections.
I turned OFF windows firewall for all (domain, public, private) but nothing. The server is a standalone and not part of a domain.
So the only problem is that I cannot make outbound RDP connections from this server 2008, whereas I can easily establish incoming (connect to this server) via RDP.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can fix this?
Thanks
