Remote desktop policy works on Windows 7, but not on Windows 8

-

hey all,

           have mixed environment of windows 7 , windows 8.1 machines.

our standard policy enables remote desktop on machines (and part of policy sets groups allowed remote access).

on windows 7, able rdp machines

on windows 8.1, remote clients cannot connect, timeout error. occurs other windows 7 or windows 8 machines.

i have confirmed:

- policy has applied (by looking in registry under hklm\software\policies\microsoft\windowsnt\terminal services)

- windows firewall letting rdp traffic through (and issue still occurs if firewall off)

- group policy templates being used in policy windows 8.1 , gpo created on windows 8.1 machine

- if set registry key hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\terminal server\fdenytsconnections = 0, manually or via gp prefs, still not work

- there no visible errors in application, system or security logs

- have compared registry snapshots before , after change below , cannot see differences in relevant keys

if take machine out of ou , place "nopolicy" ou, connections still not work (after setting regkey above) - however, if use gui turn off remote desktop turn on, works. can place computer in original ou (where policy applied) , still works.

all leads me believe remote desktop not being turned on "properly" (for want of better term) group policy , doing via gui doing different/additional.

so...

- has seen before ?

- know how turn on sort of trace logging ? have been unable find setting yet ?

thanks.
