I have had to turn off a few services but mainly Exchange related but later when I opened the console to connect through RDP I noticed all computers show offline. I went back to services and I think I made sure all services are enabled, even looked at another untouched setup that works to match and make sure all services are turned on the same, but still shows offline.

I dont know if its a coincidence or I turned something off by accident and can't seem to find it.

But even if I type the computer name in RDP it still won't connect. The server must have some kind of discovery service turned off or something please advice how to fix?
