Having read through quite a few posts, I'm hesitant to add another one
to the pile but here it is. I've exhausted almost all the suggestions
I have seen previously. One thing that never seems to get answered
though is how to get port 3389 to listen appropriately. It is showing
has the selected port in the registry. Here it is:
Windows 2000 server, Terminal Services configured and running however
port 3389 is not established or listening.
Troubleshooting steps already taken:
1.) Terminal Service is up and running in services.mgr
2.) I have run netstat -a -n. Port 3389 is definitely NOT listening or
established. As a double check, I have also tried to telnet to the
machine and it fails on a connection error.
3.) There is no firewall on the machine or on my internal network. In
fact, this machine has worked in the past and I have a Windows 2003 SBS
server that works.
4.) The machine was running in Application Server Mode, but I have
since switched it to Remote Administration mode just to check if it
could be an issue with my License server. This had no effect.
5.) I removed Symanted Antivirus Corporate Edition, just in case it
was blocking port 3389.
6.) I have insured that no filters are running on my network connection
that might prohibit entry through this port.
7.) I have tried changing the port that Terminal Services use.
8.) I have tried reinstalling (through upgrade) the operating system.
I tried reinstalling SP 4.
9.) I have verified that port number 3389 is located in the registry.
10.) Please DO NOT suggest checking the Remote tab in System
properties. This is a 2000 server and the tab does not exist. In this
same vein, unless someone can assure me differently, I do not believe
there is a local security policy that "Enables remote desktop
connection" in Server 2000. I've checked already. If there should be
one, I don't have it on my system.
This issue all started after I reinstalled the operating system as a
result of Active Directory Issues I was having with replication. The
reinstall did fix these problems, but since, my terminal services are
not running properly.

CAUSE
This problem can occur if the server has been booted by using the Last
Known Good Configuration option more than once. When the server has
been booted into the last known good configuration more than once, the
ControlSet001 registry key is deleted. However, the following registry
value is hard-coded to use the ControlSet001 registry key:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal
Server\VIDEO\rdpdd\
Value name: \Device\Video0
Value type: REG_SZ
Value data:
\REGISTRY\Machine\System\ControlSet001\Services\RDPDD\Device0
