Sure thing.

Then you can use that to reconfigure the pagefile, making very, very sure
you click "Set". :-) After you've connected to it in CM, right click the
computer, choose "Properties", go to the Advanced tab, yada yada yada.

How about the security log? Are you seeing logon failures?

Okay, port's open.

The snow might have made it sluggish. (That's a joke, folks.) See above for
remedy (hopefully).

Okay. Try logging on with a different account that has TS connection
permissions. Check the security logs. If you're not auditing logon events,
you'll need to do that. Check the terminal services permissions, etc. Maybe
do a preemptive reboot (or just do it as part of that pagefile adjustment)
and see if anything changes. If none of that works, there's still more stuff
to check, but I'm tired of typing right now and hopefully one of the above
things will determine the issue.

No problem, and no pats necessary.
