Unable to logon using terminal server connection
- by satch
I have several W2K3 SP2 servers, admin TS enabled. I discovered this morning, I was unable to logon into some of them. I've a couple of Citrix servers in different farms, a SAP (IA64) app server and a cvs server. All of them show same sympthoms; remote connections are refused. I've been able to logon locally, and terminal server service is up, there are no users (so connections are not depleted).
There are no errors in log in most servers. One of the Citrix ones, reported following errors:
Event ID 50
Source TermDD
Type Error
Description The RDP protocol component X.224 detected an error in the protocol stream and has disconnected the client.
and
Event ID 1006
Source TermService
Type Error
Description The terminal server received large number of incomplete connections. The system may be under attack.
Anyway, I suppose these errors appear because server isn't working, and Citrix users try to logon massively. (I nmap'ed server and port seems up).
I've solved this problem rebooting before, but with so many servers affected it seems like a crappy workaround. Any idea about troubleshooting it properly?
Thanks in advance
