RDP on Desktops fails to connect to Server windows 2003

[Guest Zoddy]

We have our windows 2003 server with just the regular remote administration

so administrators can log on and check out the server etc.

 

Every once in a while RDP to this particular server just stops working.

when you go into the server there are no obvious errors but the following is

true:

 

1. Terminal Services is started but the option to stop or restart is grayed

out

2. RPC service as well is the same issue

3. If you go into the Terminal Service manager and try to reset the RDP-TCP

listener you get the following error

 

Session ID (65536) reset Failed

Error 5 - Access is denied

and yes I am logged on as the domain admin in this case:)

 

This doesnt happen a lot but it does happen once in a while on selected

servers. The way we have been dealing with the issue is to reboot the server

which releases the services. Any thoughts on why this might be happening,

the server is updated with all packs and windows patches.

 

cheers

Hi,

Observations 1 and 2 are by design in WS 03 and that doesn't have anything

to do with the problem you've mentioned below (that is, you won't be able to

stop/start TS or RPC)

 

Sorry that without further debugging, nothing more can be given on this

behavior. You can try calling Microsoft product support

 

thanks

ram.
