I created an account in windows xp on my sp2 machine, then created a different partition using the same username. Instead of seeing the "useraccountname" in most admin screens, I now see the "computername\useraccountname" or ".\useraccountname". Also remote desktop is not accessible, which is my primary gripe here. I get a "could not start the terminal services service error 1079" because apparently, another service is conflicting with this service, or as another error message states, "Because of a protocol error detected at the client (code 0x1104), this session will be terminated. Please try connecting to the remote computer again". I have tried using one or all three of my DNS addresses with no success. I have a static IP set, and Remote Desktop service is enabled, and I have tried starting the Security Center service. I get a "Could not start the security service on the local computer. Errror 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process." Unfortunately, I cannot decipher enough of these messages to get rdp working successfully. I have a wrt54g router that I have enabled port forwarding on, and before I repartitioned Windows, could use rdp successfully. Firewall is disabled.
