It is a Windows 2003 Server issue but there doesn't seem to be a catagory for that.

I have a server that had Terminal Server enabled but I was getting licensing error messages so I uninstalled Terminal Server and now I can't RDP to the server and get this message. "The client could not connect to the remote computer. Remote connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to accept new connections. It is also possible that network problems are preventing your connection. Please try your connection again later. If the problem continues to occur, contact your administrator."

The remote computer is set up to accept remote connections.
Nobody is currently logged in to it.
And, The network connection is working proprerly.

Thank you.

You say that you've uninstalled Terminal Services; AFAIK that would disable RDP. Surely you need TS installed to get the connection.

Sorry, Operator Error! I was sure I checked it while I was in the server room but somehow the "Allow users to connect remotely. . ." box got unchecked and that is why I couldn't RDP.
