Re: RDP Access Hung after reboot


Hi All,

i had a question here are we getting any specific error related to TS login.
it might be "Remote logins are currently disabled". If yes please let me know
because there is a hotfix for this in KB 842506

Thanks

I've had the same issue when rebooting after installing Windows Updates and
I'm not sure of the cause, but what solved the problem for me was initiating
a reboot using the shutdown command from the command line prompt. For some
reason it seems that Terminal Services don't start after a reboot sometimes.
If you find yourself unable to remote desktop into a server, go to the
command line and execute the following:

shutdown -r -m \\servername

"-r" specifies a reboot
"-m" following by \\ and then IP address or server name on the domain

RECOMMENDED:
Also use the option "-t XX" where XX is the time in seconds the server waits
to reboot. Allowing a few minutes of buffer time is a good measure to allow
for a safe shutdown and also gives you time to abort the shutdown if needed
(it happened to me and I'm glad I used that option..."-a" is the abort option)

Using the shutdown command means that the reboot is initiated by
winlogon.exe instead of wuauclt.exe (Windows Update) or some other process.

Hope this helps...
