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. > > >If so, can you see the service statuses and event logs on > the server? > > Yes.

I immediately get the > "disconnected from server" message. 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. > > > Laura (probably a bit overcaffeinated now; can you tell?) > > No problem.
