We had an issue with remote assistance that when the SID's were changed after ghosting the machines. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555385 You said freshly formatted, but has it been imaged? It isn't exactly the same as Remote desktop, but maybe this is the issue. Also I would make sure that you are changing SID's just in case you are running into an issue where two machines have the same SID, preventing Remote Desktop. We've been using NEWSID from sysinternals, and it is a free utility. I've fixed odd problems with machines hanging on login by just running newsid a couple of times until it was successful and then adding it back to the domain.

It's an Optiplex 745, and what happens is that remote desktop stops answering after a while, but will always work after a reboot. I've checked the following: 1) No RD or Terminal Services events in the event log besides the normal the service has started. 2) Using Windows Firewall, port 3389 open 3) Remote Desktop enabled and user has permissions to use it (it works until it stops listening). 4) All patches and such have been installed. 5) Freshly formatted machine, no RD problems on other machines. The same configuration works on a lot of other machines. Googling isn't very helpful, I get the idea that it either works really well, or it's a fairly obvious firewall problem when you do have problems. The lack of entries in the event log regarding a stoppage is really not helpful.
