Zerotier on RDS servers?
-
I've been having trouble getting Zerotier to work on RDS servers.
I'm using the current client version and installing it on 2012R2 and 2016 RDS servers.
In the Zerotier management console, the Zerotier client says that it is connected and gets a Zerotier IP address and reports a status of OK.
The client has been authorised and shows as online, however I can't ping or RDP to the RDS server.
Thanks for any help.

@siringo Did you allow that IP for incoming connections?

Sorry, do you mean, on the RDS server, allow the Zerotier IP address assigned to the RDS server access? Or allow the Zerotier IP address assigned to my PC, incoming access to the RDS server?
Thanks.

@siringo Try using the IP that Zerotier assigned to the server you want to connect to.

Yep, that's what I'm doing.
I have 3 ZT networks, my laptop is connected to all of them. I can RDP into physical servers and VMs, but not RDS servers.

I haven't setup RDS in ages...
I'm not sure if RDS works like DNS on Windows, by you can choose which IPs DNS responds on, perhaps RDS has the same ability.
Also, have you checked the firewall settings? You said you can't ping, that's my first thought.

@siringo Understood. I would check the firewall settings too like @Dashrender mentions. Had the same issue on some Hyper-V hosts. Even though it was RDP enabled in the SCONFIG menu, it still had to be manually opened via Powershell.

weird.
I've opened windows firewall to icmp v4 in and out and still no replies from the ZT address.
The ZT virtual adaptor was configured to use a supplied IP address, but the address and mask fields were empty.
I put in the correct ZT IP address & mask, went into the ZT client systray app, disconnected and reconnected and it all looked spot on.
Then I looked at IPCONFIG and saw this:
-
@siringo What if you enter the IP address statically on that adapter in Windows?

Hey thanks for the reply, yep tried that. Still didn't work, but what it did do was create another virtual adapter.
I think there's something deeper going on here. It must reply to pings at the least, I'll get that going & see where I end up.

Sorted this out.
For some reason the install was setting Allow Global IP and Allow Default Route.
Once I unticked these and ticked All Managed IP it all began working.
