Re: After reboot, can't use admin Terminal Server on SBS 2003

Hi, Dave:

You were, of course, right. Thanks again for your help. Rebooting brought
back admin TS on the SBS.

There's a bug where restarts sometimes fail if initiated remotely. You seem
to be able to access computer management remotely to read the logs, right?
So in the System log, you should see something that indicates the restart
request. Do you see any follow-up indicating that the server restarted?
Normally, I just look at the eventlog ones - there should be one indicating
the logging stopped, then one indicating it's starting, then one saying
started. If you don't have those, then the system failed to restart. The
only thing that will solve this is to reboot it from the console. Or, often
(but probably not always), you can use the shutdown command from a
workstation. I just do Start -> Run -> shutdown -i and use the resulting
GUI to tell the server to restart.

This most often shows up when applying updates over RDP, probably because
that's mostly when people attempt to initiate restarts over RDP. However,
it's been documented to happen at other times, and regardless of how you
attempt to initiate the shutdown. It seems like that shutdown command from
the remote PC is most reliable. I've stopped patching remotely, except in
instances where I can get to the server fairly rapidly if it does this - for
example, I do it from my desktop PC, but not from home.

Modem issues begged for a reboot, which I performed remotely (office is
too
busy during the day to do it). Afterward, I was unable to logon remotely.
I
get to the office this AM and cannot logon to a console session using
MMC's
RD snap-in (though I can logon at the console), nor can I logon using RDP.
I'd like to reboot, again, just to see if things clear up, but I'm not
getting errors in eventvwr. Any thoughts are appreciated.
