Can't login after rebooting remote desktop computer

[Chad Waldman]

For some reason, after I remotely reboot my computer, I cannot log
back into it (remotely). However, once I log back in directly (at the
computer itself), then remote login works again. Anyone have any idea
why this would happen? I do shutdown -r to reboot.

Thanks,
Chad

Is there a 3rd party screen saver running when you try to remote desktop to
that machine or do you know if the machine is in standby or sleep mode when
you try to RD?

Some people have noted this problem in the past, thus why there is a
"autologin and lock" workaround out there... I believe it is based on
your Fast User Switching setting. Try temporarily changing this
setting and see what happens.

There is no screen saver. It is at the login screen. I don't know if
it is in sleep or standby mode but I doubt it. I try to login just a
few minutes after a reboot. I am 100% positive it is already at the
login screen. Unless the computer is somehow set to go into
standby/sleep mode immediately, I think everything is ready.
