Have you tried killing any existing sessions (other than console) from terminal service manager? I have to do this on occasion, if I ever get around to finding a solution rather then this work around I'll try to remember to post it here.

HI, Mark,

I have exactly the same problem with one of our server (Server 2003 std,
DC). A reboot will fix the issue, then the issue will come again, and reboot
again.

I cannot seem to find the reason, but was wondering if any folks here have
any clue?

I have an XP machine that I use to remote into our server that's located in
another part of the building. The server is running Server 2003 R2
Enterprise Edition SP2. The server is set up to accept remote connections.
Usually I can get in to it fine, but then every so often when I open the
Remote log on box on my PC and click connect (after entering the log on info
like normal), the Remote log on box just refreshes and won't let me connect
to the server. Our fix for this has always been to reboot the server, then I
can log in fine, but this doesn't seem right.

Is there something wrong with our server?
Or a setting that needs to be changed on it so I can reliable remote in to
it?

Thanks.

Mark






Open up the Terminal Server Manager console and log the user session off........
