unable to rdp into server after windows update

September 15, 2008

Hi all. I am unable to rdp into my server after doing manual windows update.

Upon windows update completion i would manually restart the server.

Previously if i just click on the restart button from the windows update

dialog box i would have this problem. All my other servers do not face this

problem except this particular server. All my servers are of win2003 standard

with sp2 and have the latest patches. Is there any setting i can do to

prevent this issue? Thks in advance.

RE: unable to rdp into server after windows update

I may be having the same problem. For me it is caused because the Server

never actually reboots when I click Restart from an RDP session. It starts

shutting down services like RDP & then stops restarting. I have go to the

physical machine & restart from there. Haven't found a solution yet other

than using shutdown /r from a command prompt.
