Windows remote desktop service running, but not listening on port Ask Question. Asked 3 years, 3 months ago. Active 1 month ago. Viewed 23k times. Could not open connection to the host, on port Connect failed No changes even after disabling firewalls and setting the network category of the used network profiles to Private.
I can see that I successfully enabled RDP, because sconfig. What else could be the problem? Shouldn't this work out of the box? Improve this question. Did you check your Windows firewall settings? I did not mention it because I thought it doesn't matter unless some process is actually listening to the specific port. It seems you have everything configured correctly.
I'd use nmap to perform a full scan in the server since netstat it's useful but not the same thing. It could be also some issue with the evaluation version, just saying. Did another test on bare metal. Same result. I'm also not sure why the non-expiring image downloaded from the evaluation center would be any different because it's the RTM version number already and Hyper-V Server is free anyways.
Did Event Log says something after service restart? If it tries to bind port and fails, it have to write an error to log. Show 3 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer.

You helped me fix it. Thank you! Thursday, October 11, AM. I had this same issue, and I tried uninstalling the driver that 'itdoug' was speaking of. It didn't resolve the issue and the driver was reinstalled after reboot, so no harm.

In my case it was caused by one of installed KB recently. I have installed following KB's 1. KB 2. KB 3. KB 4. KB You have to keep proper order when installing these KB's.
After restart everything work correctly. Maybe this will help someone. Wednesday, February 18, AM. Tuesday, March 31, AM. Works for me.. Monday, April 20, AM. It worked! Wednesday, May 13, PM. Worked for me, take the registry settings from working machine and applied to one facing issues.
Note: Please don't forget to take backup of your old registry before applying the fix. Md Irfan. Wednesday, July 8, AM. If turned off, the services will stop and the ports will be closed. If these ports are not listening then users will not be able to establish the ICA connection which streams their applications. Tuesday, October 6, PM. Your post pointed me in the right direction. My key was present, but there were some keys that had been changed for whatever reason and there was some addition entry.
I exported this key off of a working machine and imported to the non working machine and it took off to working.

Still does not make sense. Tuesday, December 27, PM. Thursday, February 9, AM. Edited by bmac Thursday, March 16, AM. Thursday, March 16, AM. Ignore this, damn Windows firewall was blocking the RDP, its all sorted now. Hi How did you reinstall the driver. Friday, April 14, AM.
Hi, I solved my issue. Hello, We had this problem with Windows Server R2. Proposed as answer by stakenjacy Tuesday, October 2, PM. Thursday, June 15, PM. Monday, July 17, PM. I tried everything in this thread and more and still couldn't get my server to listen on port or any other for RDP after i tried changing it. My solution in the end was to sysprep the server - after that it worked.
I'm still baffled as to why it happened but I've got a workaround! This might make more sense to ask at serverfault. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Just to be clear: Most any hacker will do a full port scan anyway - it's how they normally find you in the first place using 'bots' - before any hack attempt on any port.
With that said, I always obscure the port, but do not put any faith into this fending off brute attacks. You need a brute force monitor app - end of story.
