Having a bit of a problem at the moment with Windows RDS and using Thin Clients to connect to the server.
Heres a bit of background to the setup. I've just setup a server running the Windows Remote Desktop Services (called RDS-01) at Site A which is our main site. We have a remote site (Site B) which I want to roll out thin clients too and have them use RDP thruogh the thin client to connect back to RDS-01 at Site A.
Site A's network is on a different subnet to Site B, site is 192.168.100.0 and Site B operates on 192.168.120.0, they are connected via a VPN through 2 Draytek 2820n routers with no actual physical firewall.
I'm having massive problems getting a connection through the Wyse terminal that I've bought at Site B.
I can ping the RDS-01 server fine, do a tracert and its getting there fine, I can even RDP to the server from some normal desktop machines at Site B so it doesnt look like the server is blocking RDP connections or anything it just won't let me connect through a thin client and it's driving me mad now!
I've looked at the ports open on the router at Site A and i've set up port forwarding for 3388/3389 (Tried every combination possible), but it still wont' connect. I've tried connecting via machine name, and via IP to no avail.
Am I overlooking something really simple here? I'm a bit new to the whole RDS setup etc so am just learning this all as I go. Not sure if its worth noting that at Site A I can connect up to RDS-01 fine through a Thin Client, I just appear to be getting the problem from Site B.
Is it to do with the subnets? The ports? a VPN issue? A firewall issue? Really hit a brick wall with this! (RDS-01 is running 2008R2 btw)
