MSTSC Freezes on Vista connecting to Windows 2008 Server

[Guest henrik.frolund]

I have a mysterious problem on my Vista Business SP1 - Danish

 

When I try to connect to one of our Windows 2008 servers, mstsc hangs on the

Vista.

 

I have tried to run the mstsc as an administrator and with the /admin but

with no luck. I can connect smoothly to our Windows 2003 servers - it is only

the 2008 servers that is giving me the struggle.

 

The problem is as follows:

I start the mstsc with windows key+R then run the command mstsc /admin.

The start window is showing up, and I type in the server i want to connect

to, then i choose "Another account" and type in my admin username with

domain prefix and password. Now the mstsc window stops running (not the PC)

and I can only shut it down with "job task" + shutdown application.

 

The mysterious thing is that when I work at home and try to connect with a

VPN connection - it works.

 

Any ideas?
