We started using Hyper-V a few months ago. Until a few days ago, everything is working great. We have 2 physical hosts running Windows Server 2012. Each physical host has been running one VM (Windows Server 2008 R2) which is replicating to the other host.
We have added another virtual machine. It works great except Remote Desktop Connection cannot connect to it. When I try, I get the standard message:
Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:
1) Remote access to the server is not enabled
2) The remote computer is turned off
3) The remote computer is not available on the network
I've checked everything I can think of including:
- VM is allowing remote access. To be sure, I even turned it off and back on.
- There is no firewall blocking anything. To be sure, Windows firewall is turned off.
- Remote Desktop CAN connect to the other VMs including the one running on the same physical host.
- Everything else on the VM seems to be working. IIS is running there and web pages come up nicely. File access is good too.
There are 2 differences between this new VM and the other ones:
- This OS is Windows Server 2008 (not R2). The other VMs are R2.
- This VM was not created from scratch. I used Sysinternals Disk2vhd to generate a VHD from an existing physical machine and then configured a new VM to use that VHD.
I'd be very grateful for advice on how to get RDC working.
