Having read through quite a few posts, I'm hesitant to add another one to the pile but here it is. I've exhausted almost all the suggestions I have seen previously. One thing that never seems to get answered though is how to get port 3389 to listen appropriately. It is showing has the selected port in the registry. Here it is: Windows 2000 server, Terminal Services configured and running however port 3389 is not established or
listening. Troubleshooting steps already taken: 1.) Terminal Service is up and running in services.mgr 2.) I have run netstat -a -n. Port 3389 is definitely NOT listening or established. As a double check, I have also tried to telnet to the machine and it fails on a connection error. 3.) There is no firewall on the machine or on my internal network. In fact, this machine has worked in the past and I have a Windows 2003 SBS server that works. 4.) The machine was running
in Application Server Mode, but I have since switched it to Remote Administration mode just to check if it could be an issue with my License server. This had no effect. 5.) I removed Symanted Antivirus Corporate Edition, just in case it was blocking port 3389. 6.) I have insured that no filters are running on my network connection that might prohibit entry through this port. 7.) I have tried changing the port that Terminal Services use. 8.) I have tried reinstalling
(through upgrade) the operating system. I tried reinstalling SP 4. 9.) I have verified that port number 3389 is located in the registry. 10.) Please DO NOT suggest checking the Remote tab in System properties. This is a 2000 server and the tab does not exist. In this same vein, unless someone can assure me differently, I do not believe there is a local security policy that "Enables remote desktop connection" in Server 2000. I've checked already. If there should be one, I
don't have it on my system. This issue all started after I reinstalled the operating system as a result of Active Directory Issues I was having with replication. The reinstall did fix these problems, but since, my terminal services are not running properly. Thanks. Mike This post might be inappropriate. Click to display it. This post was of great help. I just had a machine that was refusing to listen on port
3389 for RDP connections. I checked the registry entries you pointed to and found an error. I had the particular key you reference, but the value, which was supposed to be \REGISTRY\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RDPDD\Device0 was instead \REGISTRY\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Serviceŋ\RDPDD\Device0 Notice the ŋ symbol? I changed that to an s and rebooted. Everything is working great now. I would never have found and fixed this without
your post. Thank You!! (for some reason the posts have a space character in 'Services' that I am not putting there, but the information is still valid) -- dvellis ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dvellis's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/100407.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-server-help/541656.htm http://forums.techarena.in
***@elitefoodco.com@ THANK YOU SO MUCH for your resolution I did a P2V in VMWARE on a Windows 2000 server which went fine Performed anther P2V and it booted into the OS fine but I couldn't RD TO it and couldn't figure out why After performing two additional P2V's and adding/removing the termina services via add/remove programs I could not figure it out.

Nickbsd, Techarena pulls and pushes posts to the Microsoft public newsgroups. That is where all posts originate or are sent.

I am posting the previous suggested reasons why the problem you are experiencing occured and the suggested
solution for others to benefit. Please keep in mind for future references to post the previous relevant post to help others in the MIcrosoft public groups. --- Re: Terminal Services not working - Port 3389 not listening -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Found the solution to my particular problem. Article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/270588/en-us CAUSE This problem can occur if the server has been booted by
using the Last Known Good Configuration option more than once. When the server has been booted into the last known good configuration more than once, the ControlSet001 registry key is deleted. However, the following registry value is hard-coded to use the ControlSet001 registry key: Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Terminal Server\VIDEO\rdpdd\ Value name: \Device\Video0 Value type: REG_SZ Value
data: \REGISTRY\Machine\System\ControlSet001\Services\RD PDD\Device0 Back to the top RESOLUTION WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows 2000. For
additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 260910 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/260910/EN-US/) How to Obtain the Latest Windows 2000 Service Pack To resolve this problem: 1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). 2. Locate and click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Terminal Server\VIDEO\rdpdd\ Note If you do not have this key, use Registry Editor to
create it. 3. Do one of the following:· If you did not have to create the key in step 2, change the following value Name: \Device\Video0 Type: REG_SZ Value: \REGISTRY\Machine\System\ControlSet001\Services\RD PDD\Device0 to the following: Name: \Device\Video0 Type: REG_SZ Value: \REGISTRY\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Service s\RDPDD\Device0 · If you had to create the registry key in step 2, add the following value: Subkey name: RDPDD Name:
\Device\Video0 Type: REG_SZ Value: \REGISTRY\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Service s\RDPDD\Device0 4. After you change (or create) the value, restart the computer that is running Terminal Services. --- -- Ace This posting is provided "AS-IS" with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

What listens on port 3389?
In all Windows operating systems, the default port assigned to RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is TCP 3389. After you enable RDP in Windows, the TermService (Remote Desktop Services) starts listening on port 3389.
Why is my computer not connecting to RDP?
The most common cause of a failing RDP connection concerns network connectivity issues, for instance, if a firewall is blocking access. You can use ping, a Telnet client, and PsPing from your local machine to check the connectivity to the remote computer. Keep in mind ping won't work if ICMP is blocked on your network.
Is port 3389 open by default?
When you connect to a computer (either a Windows client or Windows Server) through the Remote Desktop client, the Remote Desktop feature on your computer "hears" the connection request through a defined listening port (3389 by default). You can change that listening port on Windows computers by modifying the registry.
Does 3389 use TCP or UDP?
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a Microsoft proprietary protocol that enables remote connections to other computers, typically over TCP port 3389.
