Remote Desktop Protocol doesn’t open port

Today I spend about one hour debugging weird problem. When I migrated physical machine into VMWare I couldn’t connect via RDP into it.

When I connected to console I tried netstat -ano | findstr 3389. But there was nothing listening. Service “Terminal Services” was runnig. There was no event about any problem what so ever. After about hour of fighting with it I just went to Terminal Services Configuration and they I saw a warning:

 

RDP Problem

RDP Problem

 

When I tried to edit Properties of RDP-Tcp connection I received another informational box:

 

RDP Problem

RDP Problem

 

When I selected new adapter on Network Adapter page of RDP-Tcp Properties and Enable RDP-Tcp Connection RDP was again up and running.

This was really easy problem to solve, but there was not significant problem written into events or anywhere else.
