Hi,
1.How did you start the remote connection to windows 10? Did you remote via mstsc command?

2.Kindly check if remote access has been allowed in the target windows 10 computer.
· Make sure you have Windows 10 Pro. To check, go to Start > Settings > System > About and look for Edition. For info on how to get it, go to Upgrade Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro.
· When you're ready, select Start > Settings > System > Remote Desktop, and turn on Enable Remote Desktop.

3.Is there any error message prompted when you failed to remote from windows server 2008 and xp?

Hope this helps and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful.

1.Which is the version of RDC running in the server 2003? I am wondering if this is problem related to the compatibility between windows operating systems.

2.Please try to uncheck NLA in windows 10 under remote settings. And kind check event logs in both client and server for following path:
Event log checking:

TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager and TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager logs to view information about connections.

Step 1: Press Windows+R to open the Run dialog, enter eventvwr (or eventvwr.msc) and hit OK.

Step 2: Navigate to Event Viewer\ Applications and Services Logs\ Microsoft\ Windows\ TerminalServices-*
