Thanks for the instructions! I've installed Windows Server 2016 with no issues on a ZFS volume. Works fine. I can get the command prompt, set up IP address and so on. However I cannot get Remote Desktop connection working. I tried to (re)enable it from the command line: C:\Windows\system32>reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f The operation completed successfully. C:\Windows\system32>reg add "hklm\system\currentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v "AllowTSConnections" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f The operation completed successfully. C:\Windows\system32>net start Termservice The Remote Desktop Services service is starting. The Remote Desktop Services service was started successfully. C:\Windows\system32>ipconfig Windows IP Configuration Ethernet adapter Ethernet: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::2cb4:3a4d:dff5:9f0c%3 IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.4.5 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.4.1 But rdesktop cannot connect: $ ping 192.168.4.5 PING 192.168.4.5 (192.168.4.5): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.4.5: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=0.314 ms $ rdesktop 192.168.4.5 ERROR: 192.168.4.5: unable to connect Any ideas?
