In W2K days, I would *always* log off an admin TS session and then do a remote shutdown/reboot. Executing a shutdown from within the interactive session was problematic, to say the least. I think part of it was breaking down TS-generated printer connections. I don't see this problem with W2K3.

Does logging off before the shutdown happens still cancel the shutdown? It used to be a "top-tip" in NT, but I can never reproduce this in 2Kx.

Are you really sure the system rebooted the first time? I’ve seen this twice in the last two months and all the machines I got to before someone rebooted them never actually shut down the first time. Connect and look at the logs or use the uptime command to check when the last reboot was. I think you’ll find it never really went down. You do however get the very familiar disconnect message which leads you to believe the machine is going down. For VIP systems I like to “ping –t IPAddress” and see that it goes down and comes back up. With that said I’ve never had a problem with patching from RDP (using WSUS) and then signing off to later send a reboot command over the wire. ---------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Technical Support Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 12:01 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org; ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] The remote computer has ended the connection. Yes it doesnt happened with any other serves but i have rebooted it more than twice. but no gud luck. what do you guys suggest in this case? did only rebooting second time resolved the issue for you? It worked for me when i have disjoined from my domain. but i am sure this has nothing to do with any GPO. Also same thing happened for me when i joined this to any other domain. other than the previous one. Thanks!!! Ravi ---------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Thommes, Michael M.

I have also seen where a second reboot is necessary for RDP to work. I have not determined the cause of this yet. It does not happen on all servers.

Importance: High 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!!! Ravi .+Šw†ÛÿüÁ§Š÷Šºƒò²Ö§²ÑB§ÿö+v*®ŠË§²Örz§ÿö+v*®—û汫 [EMAIL PROTECTED])
