Can't Remote Desktop to server after rebooting via Remote Desktop
- by sh-beta
When I reboot a Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 server via a Remote Desktop connection, the server comes back up and will not accept any RDP connections: the RDP client errors out with "Connection Refused."
The Terminal Services service is running on the server and restarting it has no effect. No errors are logged on the server.
The only way I've found to fix this is to login at the console or via the DRAC and reboot the machine again, which is an ugly solution for obvious reasons.
Has anyone run into this before?
