SOLVED: remote desktop connection and windows event logs

  • Question

  • this question was originally posted in the microsoft community but I was advised to move it here:

    I'm running remote desktop connection on windows 10 and it won't connect to a remote machine on my own LAN, the error message is:

    "This computer can't connect to the remote computer.
    Try connecting again. If the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote computer or your network administrator."
    There's nothing wrong with the remote machine because other windows computers on the same lan can connect to it but the windows 10 machine can't. The error message above doesn't give any reason or error number as to why it fails. I've been through the firewall settings, everything looks ok and I'd also tried turning the firewall off, it made no difference.

    I expect I may find something if I look in the event logs but I can't see anything there relevant to these failed connections. Where exactly would such info be in the logs?

Answers

  • What are you putting on the Windows 10 machine to connect to the host? i.e. the name or an IP address? If a name can you ping the name and does it resolve to the correct address for the target host machine?

    Not sure what the host you are trying to connect to is, but if that have a look in Event Viewer, Application and Service Logs > Microsoft > Windows> > RemoteDesktopServices-RdpCoreTS > Operational log? If not say what the host is.

    On a Windows 10 client it will log in Event Viewer, Application and Service Logs > Microsoft > Windows> TerminalServices-ClientActiveXCore > Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RDPClient/Operational on connect attempts, but that does not really show any further information in for me.

    Try the ping make sure it is resolving the correct address.

  • Hi，

    What's your remote computer Operating System? And what's Operating System of other Windows computers that works fine?

    Please confirm that your network location on Windows 10 is not "public":

    1.Open gpedit.msc.

    2.Goto Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Network List Manager Policies.

    3.Find the Network Name of your network connection on the right side of the window (may be just Network) and double-click it to open its Network Properties dialog

    4.Goto the Network Location tab and change the "Location Type" to "Private".

    In addition, try this:

    Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall -> Turn Windows firewall on or off -> Inbound rules

    Enable rules : Remote Desktop and related other rules.

  • The remote computer is a linux server (command line only) The other computer (on my lan) that connects fine to it is a windows xp machine.

    I would suspect the Linux server does not support a high enough version of RDP protocol for Windows 10 to connect. So have a look into what is running the RDP server on the Linux machine and see if there is any update or advice for getting that working with Windows 10.
