RDP Problems with Server 2008

This summer we replaced 7 server 2000 domain controllers with server 2008. We never had a problem with RDP before.

In the building where I work at, let's call it the center of the network, I can RDP to any server I want. From any other building, there are 3 DCs that you cannot RDP to. The other 4 you can.

The 7 servers are identical. Same hardware, same software. The networks are nearly the same. 3 of the 4 locations have 10Mb fiber point-to-point connection back to the main office and the other has a T1 ATM.

NOTHING changed network wise.

Siting next to some of those server 2008 machines are server 2003 boxes that everyone can RDP into.

I can't find anything in the logs on either end that help me.

Thoughts, suggestions?

Telnet to the servers on port 3389 and see if you can get a connection failed message. If you do, you've got a problem with the port that RDP runs on -- firewall or some other problem.
 
Are you attempting to remote into them with the same PC that you were able to remote into them with from the central location (such as..taking a laptop with you)?

Just trying to see if you have RD host set to allow certain client for minimum, and perhaps you're trying from a client out across the WAN that doesn't meet the requirements.
 
Demon, thanks for the heads up. It fails getting to the 08 server, but passes to the 03. I don't understand that one yet, those servers are next to each other plugged into the same switch.

Stonecat, I used my laptop here at my office successfully to connect to all the 08 servers. I take the same laptop to another location and cannot RDP. I believe that rules out the client.

The 08 servers have Windows firewall turned on and have TCP port 3389 allowed. I need to turn off the firewall off on one of my problem servers to see if that's it.
