RDP - do not allow new connections broke my server

Question

Hi guys,

I am lost :(

I enabled 'do not allow new connections' in our RDP server as I did some updates.

Rebooted the server.

Went back in via Hyper-V, turned it off to allow new connections, and now I can't RDP from any machine to the server? Its as if its still set to 'do not allow new connections'

I am totally lost. What can I do and try?

:(

I've got to the bottom of it. I can't believe this but, it was my antivirus. The dam thing updated and decided to change the soft firewall. I decided to uninstall it just for testing, and I got straight in.

I just want to say, thank you for your attempted help.

If the RDS server is running on Hyper-V try to connect via Hyper-V Manager console to the RDS VM (mark RDS server, click Connect in the right task bar).
After connected fix the RDS setting.

Or give it a try with the Server Manager console on any windows server-> Add RDS server computer and try to fix the RDS setting.

Oh I see what you mean but, Done, and look what I found.

RDP - WinRM Negotiate authentication error 20/06/2021 23:10:58

But I didn't see this on the RDS server at all? Emm.

Ok, What does this mean. Where is it broke?

I've just read, that error isnt relating to the problem I have :(

PS. Please remeber, I have full access to the RDS server via our RMM tool (teamviewer). No errors in Server Manager.
