Operating system: Windows 7 Professional I have Remote Desktop enabled in Remote Settings (Start - Right-click Computer - Properties - Remote Settings). It's saying that I need to enable the Windows Firewall exception for Remote Desktop. So I went into Control Panel - System and Security - Windows Firewall.
I pressed 'Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall'. I didn't see Remote Desktop in the list of programs, however. I've tried adding mstsc.exe to the list of allowed programs, but that didn't solve the problem. I think that's because mstsc.exe is the remote desktop client, not server.
I feel like this may be happening because of software I installed. Is there a way around this? Is there another way to enable Remote Desktop in allowed programs in Windows Firewall?
Hello, I am having issues getting Remote Desktop connections through the firewall on both my Windows 2008R2 servers as well as my Windows 7 clients. I have enabled Remote Desktop connections via a GPO. I have also gone into the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security GPO setting and created an Inbound Rule for Remote Desktop. I am not allowed to remotely login to either the clients or the servers after creating the GPO. If I login on the machine, I can go into the firewall settings and see that the GPO has been applied and there is a check mark next to Remote Desktop on the Inbound filters list.
However if I perform the same steps on the local firewall and allow the Remote Desktop Inbound exception, then it works fine. So my question is, why would the firewall exception being applied via a GPO not be good enough to enable Remote Desktop? Why do I still need to enable it on the local machine as well? Thanks, -John. Hi, I agree with Matthias, he has provided the right suggestions to the issue.
As he mentioned, we’d better check if the “ Windows Firewall: Allow Remote Desktop Exception” setting has been configured. In addition, I suggest we could also collect the following information to check if the GPO has been applied correctly. GPMC.log a.
On domain controller, click Start -Run, type GPMC.MSC, it will load the GPMC console. Right click on 'Group Policy Result' and choose wizard to generate a report for the problematic computer and user account (please place appropriately).
