Re: No RDP connection possible to win2k3 server in Remote Adminis

Are you getting the following error in your system log?

1014 TermServices
 Cannot load illegal module: "C:\windows\system32\drivers\rdpwd.sys"

I suddendly lost RDP connectivity to a Windows 2003 Server SP2 & XP Pro SP3
Box. I noticed that error in the event log. I copied rdpwd.sys from another
server that RDP was working properly, I replaced it, then rebooted the
server. This fixed it for me and I could RDP into the systems again.

Hope this helps.

Not sure if it helps, but check this:

My Terminal Server does not respond after a reboot. How do I solve
this?

Ok, here in englisch:
The error message when trying to connect to the server:

Please try connecting again later. If the problem continues to

I am the admin, of course.
Ich have a little farm with Win2k3 Servers.
7 server run in Remote Administration Mode. Recently I
installed SP2 und Hoffixes.
After installing SP2 on one machine, I could not reach it
anymore through RDP.
All others were OK. At first the port 3389 was still being
listened (netstat –aon), yet I could not get on the machine
with Rdp. The server was kind of busy so I dismounted some
Oracle instances. Ram was freed, but to no avail.

Terminalservices is oviously managed by a svchost that does not
do anything else. Since the service Terminalservices cannot be
manually stopped I killed the corresponding svchost in
taskmanager (found out with wmic...). Then I started again
Terminal services. To no avail. There was a message in eventlog
after I killed the svchost and after I restarted the service
there were two messages confirming that it was started OK.

Ping to the server was OK, I could connect the hidden
Admin-Share (c $)
telnet Servername 3389 ==> did not work:
Coult not open connection: Connect failed

With the other servers it did work (blinking Telnet window).

I switched the machine from RemoteAdministration Mode to
Terminal server mode and restarted the machine. To no avail.

I set the machine back to Remote Administration Mode (hoping
that would fix s.th.), installed all current Hotfixes and
restarted. No change.
Now the port 3389 was not being listened to any more.

I deleted in tscc.msc the RDP-Tcp, rebooted the server, then
created RDP-Tcp again, rebooted the Server, no change.

I verified, that in %SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers the files
Termdd.sys und Rdpwd.sys were present.
I verified, that in  %SystemRoot%\System32 the files Rdpdd.dll
and Rdpwsx.dll were present.
These files were of same size and date as on the other servers.
Just to make sure I finally copied these files on to this
server again. In
HKEY_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermDD the
value for Start was set to 1 – the same as with the other
servers, so it must be correct for Remote Administration mode.
I de-activated the Windows Firewall. No change.

So, what is wrong here?
Port 3389 is not being listened to anymore by the server
(netstat – aon).
At what point is the server being told to listen to port 3389
for RDP?
Why doesn't it work and why is there no error message or event
log message?
The server works otherwise OK, just no RDP connections anymore.

Thank you for fresh ideas that get it working again.

Andreas

Now the message has changed somewhat to:
This computer can't connect to the remote computer.
Try connecting again. If the problem continues, contact theowner
of the remote computer or your network administrator.

Hello,
I stood next to the server during reboot.
There are no error messages in the log.
When I let the server do its reboot there is no entry in eventlog that
TerminalServices have been started.
This obviously only occurs when I kill the service and then restart
it.
In
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService
\DependOnService
the entries are now:
RPCSS
TermDD
Still no RDP-Session possible.
Can't be because the server does not listen to 3389.
When and where is it being told to listen to the RDP port?
Why is there no error message when TermServices start but the port is
not being listened to?
S.th. goes wrong but is not recognized...
So what can I do?
Please don't tell me "re-install the server..."
All seems fine, just RDP isn't.

Sincerely
Andreas
