RDP not working

[Guest Jeff]

Hello,

 

I have a server running Windows Server 2003 STD edition acting as our DC, AV

as well as some other services. Every now and then I lose the ability to RDP

to this box until I reboot it. What happens is I open RDP, put in the server

name to connect to and hit connect. It then thinks for a few seconds and then

just goes back to the original screen where you put in the computer you want

to connect to. No error message, happens from multiple computers. The only

way I can get it to work again is to reboot the server which is very

troublesome as its also our File and Print server at which everyones desktops

and my docs folders are redirected to. Please help!

 

Thanks

Are you the only one connecting to this TS server, or are other users

connecting as well? What version of the rdp client are you using? Just in

case you should download the latest rdp 6.0 client:

Re: RDP not working

 

My account is the only one connecting. I have gone to TSADMIN locally on the

box and logged out any disconnected sessions just to be sure that wasnt the

issue. Also, one of the boxes I am trying to connect from is a Vista machine

which I would assume is running the latest RDP client? I dont see any way to

tell the version, but being that its Vista I'm assuming its 6.0..... ?

Re: RDP not working

 

Yes, on Vista you should have 6.0, the new one will come out with Vista SP1.

Have you checked qwinsta on the server to see if it is listening?

 

Thx. Alice
