After installing Symantec Endpoint from Software Central, Windows Remote Desktop Connection into Joule stopped working.

However, it was still possible to use Windows Remote Desktop from Joule to another machine.

The reason is that the Berkeley-specific rule that blocks Windows Remote Desktop Connection.

In the task bar at the bottom, click on the Symantec icon. In the "Network Thread Protection" section, right click on "Options" and select "Configure Firewall Rules".

Look for a "RDP" rule and edit it to allow from all machines.
