Can't connect via RDP to Windows 2008 R2 Server - windows-server-2008-r2

I just installed a Windows 2008 Standard R2 server with RDS. Whenever I attempt to connect to the server via RDP from a Windows 2003 server, I get the following error.
I am however able to connect from a Windows 7 desktop and using a Linux RDP client.
Anyone know why I'm getting this error and how to resolve the problem?
Thank you in advance.

This is probably a Server Fault question, but none the less my guess is the server has the following setting:
Maybe your Linux RDP client doesn't support this functionality?
If not, check your Firewall, it needs to look like this:

How to connect macbook 11.4 big sur remotely with windows server 2008 R2

I have 3 RDP's (2 of Windows server 2012 R2 and 1 Windows Server 2008 R2). By using Microsft Remote Desktop, I am able to get connected remotely with the two Windows Server 2012 R2. But I am unable to connect with Windows Server 2008 R2. I am getting the below error.
Previously I was able to connect with all three. Also, I want to mention that in the windows environment I am not facing any issue with the RDP.
I am stuck to it and don't know what to do. Any help would be highly appreciated.
I had this issue and this is what I did to get working back the RDP client on a Macbook pro mid-2015 with the last big sure release.
First make sure that :
the remote server IS online
the remote server IS accepting RDP connections
the remote server firewall IS configured correctly with the right port
the remote server IS NOT configured to accept only connections with NLA
After validating the above points, then on your client (the Mac) you can try to get working the RDP with this first step :
remove (please make a backup) the file UBF8T346G9.com.microsoft.rdc located in /Users/[Your username]/Library/Group Containers/ then reboot your Mac.
If it still doesn't work, you could try to remove the app, reboot, then re-install the app again.
You can also analyze the Event-Viewer on the 2008 R8 server to see if there is something to help you to spot the issue.
More information about troubleshooting RDP :

I faced the same problem some years ago.
here's the solution:
Read the article carefully. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/troubleshoot/windows-server/remote/troubleshoot-remote-desktop-disconnected-errors.
And check if the remote server IS accepting RDP connections.
And also check if the remote server accepting only connections with NLA.
delete the file UBF8T346G9.com.microsoft.rdc and Reboot.
And if still doesn't work, then totally uninstall / remove the app and install again and check.
Thank You

Need help connecting two virtual machines together

I am running two virtual machines on my local computer (Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 10 running on vmware workstation 12). My Server 2012 R2 has SQL Server 2016 Developers edition on there and I have Windows 10. Both of them have SSMS 17.7 on them. I am trying to connect to the server on my Windows 10 machine via SSMS. I tried authenticating them, but the Windows 10 VM does not show up. Even when I try to map or even UNC path into any of them, nothing shows up (on both ends). Now, I have tried bridged connection and serial port for both of them and that does not seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas on what may be the problem or can give me a link to do this in? I have tried this youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=GUsyEJda-E0 and VMWare's official site:https://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_devices_serial_2vms.html Thanks in advance!

IIS FTP 8.5 DataChannel timeout with a linux client

I've got a strange situation. Hope someone can help. I've got two independent IIS FTP servers.
IIS 7.5 runs as standalone VM
IIS 8.5 runs on a windows server 2012 R2 VM
When I connect to these ftp servers using FileZilla client (or the pftp client on ubuntu), both work as expected, really well. Passive mode, no problem.
When one of my customer's linux client is connecting, it works great on the IIS 7.5, but it does not work on the IIS 8.5
It stops after the PASV command with a timeout. The linux client is running a custom app on fedora which has FTP functionality embedded in it.
For authentication i'm using IIS Manager Users.
Does anyone have an idea of what this could be? Or how to troubleshoot this?? I can test, and see everything working, except when the clients processes are entering the scene!

Why this Help Desk System redirects me to the old server?

I am using the Liberum Help Desk as a Service Request System. It is host on a server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 32-bit. I configured it with an Access database. It works well. Now, I am trying to shift it to another server running Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit. At the beginning, I have an error with the JET driver, because there is no JET driver for the 64-bit machines. I fixed it by enabling 32-bit option in the advanced settings of the application pool. However, I am still facing a strange problem which is the following:
When I tried to browse the system that is on the new server (64-bit), it will redirect me to the system hosted on the old server (32-bit) and I don't know why. I checked the code to see if there is any link or something for redirecting me to the old server and I did find anything.
So how to fix this problem? what is the reason of it?
Finally, I found the solution. The problem was with the Access Database; there is a table called config and inside it there is a column for determining the link. I changed the link there and everything works fine.
