@scottalanmiller Was I not supposed too?

That's fine, but it was grey when you showed me the screenshot.

If you make changes and don't mention it, we will get things wrong.

Once it goes orange, you can't look up the IPs any more because they are proxying for you to improve your performance. But this is not a public webpage, it is an RDS server, so you can't have that on, it will freak out.

[scottalanmiller]

The IP addresses being displayed are the CloudFlare content management network nodes, not your server. Turn off the orange cloud to go back to your own server.

@scottalanmiller It resolves to the correct address when its grey, but I get the name not resolved error

[scottalanmiller]

It's working fine from Greece. I am getting your web server.

[christophergault]

@scottalanmiller I figured it out... I had accidentally changed my host file in System32... I fixed it

[christophergault]

@scottalanmiller However I still get an error from the RDWeb app saying it can't connect to the server...

[scottalanmiller]

Is RDS exposed?

[christophergault]

@scottalanmiller I don't know

[scottalanmiller]

What steps did you go through to expose it? Right now IIS is generically showing up.

tacking /rdweb on the end of that URL results in the proper page, with an SSL error.

@scottalanmiller I don't think I ever did expose it...

[christophergault]

RDP will need opened. The entire point of RDS is to create an RDP session.

[christophergault]

@JaredBusch Well how the living hell do I open it?

Port 3389

[christophergault]

@JaredBusch And that is opened using?

[scottalanmiller]

the firewall. All ports are managed using the same tools.

[christophergault]

@scottalanmiller So the router firewall to be correct?

Well on the server too, but it should have automatically done that one when the roles were installed.
