I only mentioned the SNP issue because itbit us hard here, with Terminal Services being inaccessible after a reboot being the most obvious symptom; a second reboot worked, usually.
Turning off TCP offload / Receive Side Scaling in the network card properties might help too, especially on Broadcom cards, whose drivers have been notoriously buggy. As we’d done all that already, and only recently discovered the KB950224 horfix, I can’t say whether that solves it.

Have you been selectively applying Windows Updates? The Scalable Networking Pack should have been turned off by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948496 which did come down via Windows Update, many moons ago.

Has anyone seen any issues with the Microsoft August patches affecting RDP access on Windows 2003 servers or terminal servers? Getting issues after patching yesterday with some 2003 servers won't allow RDP access now.
