Tableau Server and Tableau Desktop share the same core components.  Because they share the same components, you can effectively troubleshoot the Tableau Server issue by performing the following steps:
- Install Tableau Desktop on the computer running Tableau Server.
- Sign in to Windows as Tableau Server Run As user.
- Open Tableau Desktop and attempt to reproduce the issue.
 
If the issue can be reproduced when using Tableau Desktop on the computer running Tableau Server, the issue should be troubleshot from the Tableau Desktop perspective first.  A resolution to the Tableau Desktop issue should solve the Tableau Server connection issue as well.
