Connecting to Windows Server 2016 via RDP

Question
-
Hello!
I have a testing domain environment that consists of several multi-homed testing servers: each of them has at least two network adapters - one for connecting to the test domain (TestEnterprise.com) and the second - for connecting to those servers from the productional network via RDP:
I can connect to 10.10.10.11 from 10.10.10.0/24 subnet via RDP while this server is connected to the TestEnterprise.com by means of its 20.1.1.16 network adapter - so far so good - for WinServer 2012R2.
Today I installed WinServer 2016 onto one of these servers (with the IPs depicted above) and can no longer connect via RDP to the management adapter (10.10.10.11), I can only connect to its "domain-based" IP (20.1.1.16) - from other members of TestEnterprise domain (from 20.1.1.0/24 subnet): RDP client says "The password is incorrect", no events get registered in the security log inspite of this audit configuration:
Q1: What can prevent connecting to the IP that is from the non-domain subnet (firewall is completely turned off for all profiles) ?
Q2: Why Windows Server 2016 does not register unsuccessfull connection attempt?
P.S. I failed to find a forum for Windows Server 2016 (not Preview) - does it exist at all?
Thank you in advance,
Michael

What is the output of ipconfig /all for the Windows Server 2016 server? Can it ping anything on the 10 network?

...awfully sorry... should have been using 20.1.1.6 instead of 20.1.1.16 - thank you very much, Tim, for ipconfig!

You're welcome. ipconfig is generally the first thing to look at for any networking issue.

"ipconfig is generally the first thing to look at for any networking issue." - yes, of course, but I thought looking at ipconfig's output would be excessive given that I was looking at TCP/IP Properties window at that moment :(
What about the second question - is there any Windows Server 2016 (not preview) forum on technet?

Hi,
As far as I know, there is no Windows Server 2016 forum temporary.
For the problem, you could try to post network forum below.
