Server 2012 R2 question

[Coram Daes]

I know, this is 8, but if you know a good server forum I am willing to go there, personally I have no knowledge of any server forum that has the reputation and consistent support Brink and all his friends have given for 7-Vista-8-10 over the years...

2012 is after all based on 8...

I'll wait with the question until ok'd or directed somewhere else...

Here are a few forums, in no particular order. Some might be better to use for searching out answers to questions, whereas MSFN has an active user base so you might consider joining. I'm sure there are many other forums that are Server centric as well but not knowing the question needing answering this short list should get you started

Thanks @MGhee
The question is about Windows Firewall and RDP, Remote Desktop (locally) just suddenly stopped working

Bleeping and Technibubble might be worth a look. The rewards system on MS Forums ruins them, IMO.

EDIT.. And now it works again... jeez...

Hi CD

I don't mean to overwhelm you, if/when you have some time maybe one of these links can help with troubleshooting server issues - for any future issues.

Server 2012 - Remote Desktop Stopped Working.

I have a MS Server 2012 Server that has been working perfectly fine - I’ve been able to connect to it through RDP since it was built. It is a physical server. Couple of weeks ago rebooted it after patches and I haven’t been able to get into it since – well of course except thru local terminal...

It's ok... I stay clear of some of those places regardless... I wish there was a "server version" of @Brink
