Guest HarryH Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Hello, we are using Remote Desktop frequently for remote server administration. All servers are running 2003 STD SP2 EN. Yesterday a colleague wanted to restart the server. It seems that it did not really restart, since the log does not contain the typical 3 Event-log messages. But today the server is not excepting remote desktop connections anymore. The Terminal Service is running and cannot be restarted (as by Microsoft design). In TSAdmin there is no rdp-listener anymore. I have already tried to disable and enable the rdp-Connection in TSCC.msc. That was no problem but I still don't have an rdp listener. Running QWinsta.exe from the command line only shows "console". We have had this problem before and I know that after the next reboot everything will probably be ok. But is there anyway to start the listener without rebooting the server? Less downtime will make our users less grumbly ;-) Any help or hint would be greatly appreciated! Regards Harald

Guest HarryH Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Re: TS 2003: RDP-listener gone Hello Piet, thank you for your answer! I was away for a while - sorry for the late answer. Which registry path are you specifically referring to?
