Cannot connect through RDP

I have a veru bizare issue.

When trying to connect via RDP to a remote laptop which has been taken off the network for a few days. When connected again to the network, i cannot RDP into it using DNS name but can using IP. OS is windoes 7 Enterprise x64 using AD.

Taking it off the domain and adding it again does not help.

Any suggestions?

Solution

  • DNS was the issue. It was not releasing the associated IP. Had to purge all old data and schedule auto periodic purge.
