I connect to my Windows Server 2003 server with Remote Desktop Connection, I
type in my login credentials, the login windows closes as expected, I see my
blue desktop (as opposed to the gray login background), and then my
connection is closed without an error message on the client or server event
log.
Here are some facts:
- The problem is intermittent, occurring most times I attempt to login. If
I wait a long time before trying to login again, I have better luck.
- The server is new, replacing an old server that had the same name on the
domain.
- The problem still happened after I removed the server from the domain,
gave it a new name, and added it back to the domain.
- I have applied hotfix for KB 833890.
- The problem happens in "Remote Desktop for Administration" and "Terminal
Services" modes.
- I have tried removing the computer from the domain and still get the
problem.
- I have tried different users, local and domain, admin and others.
- My server settings in the Terminal Services Configuration are: Yes, Yes,
Remote Desktop..., Enable, Full Security, No
- For a while, it seemed like a newly created user could login remotely
once, but then failed on subsequent logins... but then I had a newly created
user fail on a first attempt. Deleting user profiles had similar results.
- I have tried connecting from XP, W2K, and W3K clients.
- Our AD domain is hosted by two w2k servers.
- If I try to connect to the problem W3K server from another W3K server
using Terminal Services Manager, I get the "gathering information" message
and then the Terminal Services Manager disappears/closes.
- The session in Terminal Services Manager shows up when I am on the login
screen and then goes away when the session disconnects.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
