Re: Logon Attempt Failed /w Remote Desktop Connection

Hi Curtis,

Remote Assistance or Remote Desktop is enabled? They are two different
things and have differing purposes. It is the latter that must be, and it is
only available in Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise (you won't even see it
on the remote tab in the Home Basic or Premium versions). The former is an
interactive session where a user is at the machine being accessed and grants
permission.

In addition, if you are acccessing a Vista machine from a non-Vista machine
(XP, 2000, etc.), then you must have the option enabled for the system to be
accessed from any version of Windows.
