Hello,

I have a Win 2008 R2 server with the Remote Desktop Services role
enabled. Remote users were using it with no problems until late this
morning. Suddenly, all remote connections were refused. As far as I
can tell, nothing new was added or changed when the problem occured.
Looking at netstat -a, port 3389 is not listening.

I have since rebooted and removed the Remote Desktop Services role and
reinstalled it. Nothing seems to help. The Windows Services control
panel shows all of the relevant services are running. All of the
advice that I can find so far on the Internet such as service
dependencies or specific registry entries does not seem to apply
here. Yet still, port 3389 is not listening.

Any ideas?

Stab in the dark:
You didn't mention licensing or a license server. Is
all that in place?
