You are not able to connect server through RDP no matter what, you disable firewall, AV, restart services etc.. all in vain !

Check the event viewer and if you see Event ID: 1048, “Terminal Service start failed. the relevant status code was No such interface supported”

Follow the instructions below to fix the issue :

Execute below commands as it is from command prompt ( in case of Windows 2008/R2, Run as Administrator )
  • net localgroup "Administrators" "NT Authority\Network Service" /add
  • net localgroup "Administrators" "NT Authority\Local Service" /add
  • Reboot the machine. 
Now you should be able to connect to a server through Remote Desktop Connection.
