Agreed, this isn't just this month. This is been happening with
consistency about the last three to four months that we've been tracking
it. Perhaps longer, but that's about the time those of us in the SBS
MVP listserve started realizing that all of us were having to figure out
alternative means to get to RDP sessions that were not coming back after
patching/rebooting.
In the SBS world it can be Exchange grabbing the TS port of 3389 as it
reboots which can be fixed with a reg edit...but mostly we're seeing
boxes, Windows server (and even workstations) flavors of all variety
that are either getting stuck on the way down, or we see that they get
the reboot command and then they don't reboot.
Currently everyone is just 'working around it' by using Ilo, or getting
remotely into another server or workstation and doing a remote shutdown
command... but I'd/we'd like to get to the bottom of it if we can.
It is consistently happening way too often and I'm seeing it reported
much too often.

Hi Susan,
I didn't mean to imply that this was just with the last set of
patches. I think your note says that you have been seeing this for a
while. We have too. One of the guys in my group uses Update Expert to
patch and he sees it more often than I do. Of course, he patches a lot
more servers than I do. Another part of the group uses WSUS and they
have not mentioned any issues; but then again, they don't TS into
computers much. And yes, I will bring it up with my TAM (again?). I
think I had mentioned it to him previously but never started anything
formal on it.

Can you PLEASE call into Microsoft PSS or your tam or pam or whatever
and report this? Along with anyone else seeing this issue?
I know that calling into PSS can be a pain, but please report this
issue.
We are seeing this more and more and I need to have bodies called in.
We seriously need to get to the bottom of this because in the SBS space
we do a lot of remote management and if the RDP dies we have to fall
back to ILOs and this isn't acceptable in my book for patching to do
this.
Do you rely on WSUS?

It cleared after rebooting a second time. Root cause? /Unknown /at

Hi,
I am trying to access one of my servers using Remote Connection. I am
using mstsc but its not connecting me to the server. error "/*/The
remote computer has ended the connection/*/". However if i am using
/*/_mstsc /v:IP Address /console_/*/ it lets me connect to it.
Problem is in this mode i can use only admin id when connected like
this. I want my engineers (who dont have administrator priviledges) to
access this. its not possible in this mode.
This all happened when i rebooted my server.
Please suggest what can be done to normalize the things.
Thanks!!!
