Here is the setup:

Server Vlan 10 IP: 10.0.10.1

Firewall Vlan 10 IP: 10.0.10.24

VLAN 10 IP Address 10.0.10.10

When the server's gateway is the firewall I can Remote to the server but then none of the other VLANs can see the server but when the Server's Gateway is the VLAN IP then all workstations can see servers but no RDP access.

I suspect using the gateway of the switch is the correct method but then it's a routing issue.

So I have created a default route on the core switch that routes to the firewall.

The firewall is responding with destination host unreachable.

Any ideas?
 
Some things here dont make sense to me.
What is the VLAN 10 IP address 10.0.10.10 device? Is that your swithch?

When you say none of the other Vlans can see the server, what is doing your interVlan routing? IE, what other Vlans do you have and where do they plug into / configured on? The firewall? The switch?
Your switch if it is Layer3 (which it sounds like it is) should be doing the intervlan routing itself. The only reason traffic should then be going to the firewall is if it is destined for a network that the switch is unaware of.

Alternatively, you could use the switch as a layer 2 device, create subinterfaces on the firewall each with an ip/Vlan on each of the vlans/networks that you have. The firewall will then do intervlan routing and also protect traffic between Vlans if required.
