(SOLVED) Remote Desktop cannot be enabled, Windows 7 Professional.

<< < (3/7) > >>

Boggin:
When you aren't able to start those services, do you get an error message and which services are they ?

Steevo:
Remote Desktop Services is set for automatic startup
The logon tab says local service
Allow to interact with desktop

When I click start,

Popup says
Windows could not start the remote desktop services service on local computer
Error 1079 the account specified for this service is different from the account specified
for other services running on the same process.

Remote desktop services user mode port redirector is set for automatic startup
The logon tab says local service
Allow to interact with desktop

When I click start,

Popup says
Windows could not start the remote desktop services usermode port redirector service on local computer
Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.

Boggin:
That's handy, MS has a Fixit for the 1079 error. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2478117

As for the Dependencies error, that may be related to the 1079 error as that service may be a dependency of the port director.

You can check this by right clicking on that one, select Properties and then click on Dependencies.

Steevo:
Well, thanks.
That fixit is running now. I will report back.

I ran the fixit and rebooted.
Both errors remain, same message.

I tried to connect with rdc on my local network.
"Cannot connect to the remote computer"

I tried changing to an invalid private IP and the message is the same.

Boggin:
I've just been checking my services and the Remote Access and Desktop services are set to Manual.

All but the Remote Desktop Service when I double click on them, under the Log On tab, each are showing as Local System Account.

The Remote Desktop Service is set for Network Service in the This account box - does this tally with yours ?
