Is your PC on the same subnet as that of the windows HPVM ?

Check the HPVM network interface parameters using SAC>i
and that of the PC.

As long as there are contactable to each other on the network, I think remote desktop should work.

Yes sameer same subnet on my pc, pls see attach

Ok. Maybe the follwing applies in your case. Take a look at this document available at http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-3716/5991-3716.pdf which says if you are installing Windows 2003 using Microsoft RTM media and selected "Custom Install" option, remote desktop is disabled by default. There is command which you can run at SAC> prompt to enable it.

Hi Sameer,

i'll already done that enable command, list below

C:\WINDOWS\system32>reg add "HKLM\system\CurrentControlset\Control\TerminalServe
r" /v fdenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
The operation completed successfully.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh firewall set service remotedesktop enable all
The following command was not found: firewall set service remotedesktop enable a
ll.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>

Try this command

C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh firewall set service type = remotedesktop mode = enable

Hi Sameer, the command was not found

C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh firewall set service type = remotedesktop mode = enabl
e
The following command was not found: firewall set service type = remotedesktop m
ode = enable.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>

I would see the netsh arguments list from the command propmt and see if "firewall" is supported ?

By the way what Windows 2003 version you are installing?

Or maybe firewall opmode is disabled?
netsh firewall show opmode
netsh firewall show config

The TCP port 3389 should be enabled at the guest side to get RDP connection succeeded.

Hi Sameer, the netsh firewall is not found.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh firewall show opmode
The following command was not found: firewall show opmode.
