Jake, Thanks for your reply - I've since discovered the TS service does start in Safe Mode (with Networking), and I can telnet to the listening port (TCP 3389), but when I try and open up an RDP session from the client I receive "Your Remote Desktop session has ended....".
Likewise, the telnet service also can't be started in Safe Mode. Open to suggestions!!
