Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Remote Volume Management" Hi Trying to install terminal session based services on Server 2012R2 - the server has been promoted to domain controller. If you want to see the individual exceptions that are updated, you can run it with the -verbose flag as I did in the screenshot. They do the same thing as the netsh command above.

If they are not, try running the netsh command again. Make sure that all three items are enabled (True). On the Server, you can check if all the appropriate exceptions are enabled with the following PowerShell command: Get-NetFirewallRule | Where | Format-Table Note: My client machine updated 6 rules, but my server only updated 3 rules (as seen in the next screenshot. You can do so with the following command in an elevated Command Prompt or PowerShell: netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Remote Volume Management" new enable=yes You will need to enable the exceptions on both the machine you are trying to access (the Server) and the machine you are accessing from (the Client).

When you first connect, it is common to get errors such as “ Disk Management could not start Virtual Disk Service (VDS) on…” or “ The RPC server is unavailable.“ Even simple things, such as managing disks can be difficult. Microsoft recommends using Windows Server Core for many critical server roles, but that means you need to be a black belt with PowerShell.
