windows 2003 server remote desktop problems

[stewboy]

I am a newbie to the server world and have set up win 2003 server enterprise
edition - I have enabled remoted desktop access - i have added a "special"
user to allow for incoming remote desktop control - i have added this user t
o the remote desktop user group. I tried to connect from my xp machine and
was able to the first time...once i disconnected, i am not able to reconnect
no matter what i do, restart the machine, re initiate remote desktop, insta
ll terminal services, etc.

i have set my disconnect options to "end session upon disconnect" and reduce
d the disconnect time to "1 minute" - obviously not knowing what i am doing

can someone please help figure out how i can make so that i can repeatedly c
onnect to my server via remote desktop

thank you so much

Anything in the EventLog on the server when you try to connect?
Connecting once and then no more sounds like a typical licensing
problem. You did *not* install Terminal Services, did you?
