My last windows update was KB on Sept 7 and based upon some logs I keep for mainly debugging purposes, I know the problem began at some point between Sept 4 and Sept I've removed this update, but no luck. As per the linked thread, I've also checked the windows firewall on the server I'm trying to connect to, but it is disabled. I've also run network diagnostics, again with no issues found.

I can both remote into and ping the server in question. I completely forgot I disabled that. Problem solved. This is why documentation is important, as is removing legacy stuff to avoid having systems vulnerable.

Trust me, I know on the legacy stuff, we're working on it, got a couple stubborn managers that still think they need immediate access to ancient stuff on those servers.
