Infuriating Windows Server 2003 SP2 behaviour- November 2, 2007 <rant> I just added two new servers to our hosting AD domain via Remote Desktop. After rebooting, I could no longer Remote Desktop to or even ping the machines. So I get in a taxi, go in to the datacenter, log in to the machines locally, and discover that Windows has decided to enable its firewall (and block all remote connections). This new 'feature' just wasted nearly 2 hours of my day. And for what I am all for 'secure by default' but this is taking it way..http://weblogs.asp.net/acampbell/archive/2007/11/01/infuriating-windows-server-2003-sp2-be... |
