Sorry for the typos - USB bus on my WS died, and I have a really bad PS/2 KB...
We have a Windows XP Pro SP3 workstation running in VMWare ESX 3.5 that loses its ability to be reached via remote desktop connection. (This renders it rather useless!) Its event logs show nothing failing... At times, if I go to the VM management console and look at that machine's console, I sometimes see a blue desktop with no login screen. Other times it shows the login screen, and one can log in (via the console, again making it pretty useless). Interestingly, when an administrator logs in at the console, the "enable remote desktop connections" box is checked and grayed-out (so nobody can check or uncheck it - not even administrators). Other than blowing this thing away and building a new one (probably from a new ISO), any idea what would make this machine so unstable? Tnanks! -- Richard D.
