RDP Client Error message only on single computer.

I

Ian Robert

Hi,

I have been called in to help with a tricky issue, at a remote office, The
users at this remote office connect remotely to another office via that
offices Small Business Server Remote Web Workspace and visa versa - both
offices have SBS2003 one configured by me and one by someone else. There is
one workstation at one location which gets the following error when trying to
connect to the terminal server we have at the other location using RWW in IE.

VBScript : Remote Desktop Disconnected
The client could not connect to the remote coputer. Remote connections
might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to accept new
connections. It is also possbile that network problems are preventing your
conneciton. Please try connecting agiain later. If the problem continues to
occur, contact your administrator.

Remote Desktop Administration is enabled on this client and I am using RWW
to connect to the workstation to help diagnose the issue.

So basically, the client accepts remote desktop connections but is not able
to make them out. Other people at the same location are working fine and are
able to make RWW remote desktop connections out, so it's not a firewall or
server issue. Testing on the two SBS servers produce the same result.

I think this is an XP issue - given the above and by viewing the behaviour
of the client. It could be an IE issue. The problem exists under both IE6
and IE7

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Ian Robert

Hi Ian,

Thank you for your post.

Given your description about this issue, this issue can be caused by
various factors and it's hard to pin down the cause at this time. I suggest
following the steps below to narrow down this issue.

Step 1
======
You may connect remotely to this client computer in question using RDP in
the same location. For example, connect from siteA-xp-01 to siteA-xp-04.

This can help us to narrow down whether this is a Windows XP client
computer issue or an Internet Explorer issue.

If the issue also happens when this problematic computer is connected from
the same location, let's go ahead to the next step.

Step 2
========
Check if Remote Desktop is turned on.

1. Logon the problematic computer in console.
2. Right click My Computer and click Properties.
3. On the Remote tab, ensure "Allow users to connect remotely to this
computer".

Step 3
======
1. On another client computer in the same location, enter the command
prompt.
2. Input: telnet <computername> 3389

Can this computer be connected?

Step 4
=======
1. Logon the problematic computer in console.
2. Click Start > Run, type firewall.cpl and press Enter.
3. Turn off the firewall application and then check if the issue can be
resolved.

Step 5
========
According to the KB article 898713, this issue also can occur when
Distributed File Systems (DFS) Client functionality is disabled in the
following registry subkey on a Windows XP SP2-based computer:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Mup
When DFS is disabled on a Windows XP SP2-based computer, the Remote Desktop
Protocol (RDP) causes the connection to fail.

I'd like to share with you the "hotfix online submission" service that you
can use to request this hotfix 898713:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/CUHotFix_LandingPage_Request.

After completing the relevant info (such as KB ID, product and language)
and providing a valid email address, please click the Submit button. A
Microsoft professional will respond to you via e-mail within 8 business
hours.

More information
===========
You receive a "Remote computer has ended the connection" error message when
you use the remote desktop connection tool on a Windows XP SP2-based
computer
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/898713

Step 6
========
1. Right click My Computer and point to Manage.
2. Click the View menu, and then click "Show hidden devices".
3. Expand the System Devices node.
4. Check whether the entry "Terminal Server Device Redirector" is listed.
5. If this entry doesn't exist, please follow the steps below. If the entry
exists, let's move forward to the Step 2.

a. Install devcon from
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;311272
b. In the command prompt, run:

Terminal Services Device Redirector = "devcon -r install
%windir%\inf\machine.inf root\rdpdr"
(only run the items within the quotation marks, WITHOUT the quotation marks)

If the issue remains, please collect the following information from the
problematic computer and send them to me for research.

System Information
=============
a) Click the Start button, type msinfo32 in the Start Search box and press
Enter key.
(b) Wait for a while to complete the System Information generation.
(c) Click File Save and save it as an .nfo file. Right click it, click
"Send To", and then point to "Compressed (zipped) Folder".
(d) Send the zip file to me at (e-mail address removed).

Event log
=========
Please send the event lot for Application and System to
(e-mail address removed).

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Alex,

I've received the link to the hotfix and the password but when I run the
program I get an error saying "Program too big to fit into memory" - I don't
get prompted for a password. I have tried on an XP machine and a Vista
machine to extract the hotfix from the download package, both give the same
result.

The package name in the email is : 237510_ENU_i386_zip.exe

Thanks

Ian

Alexi,

OK, it was a dodgy download - got it now.

Ian Robert said:
Hi Alex,

I've received the link to the hotfix and the password but when I run the
program I get an error saying "Program too big to fit into memory" - I don't
get prompted for a password. I have tried on an XP machine and a Vista
machine to extract the hotfix from the download package, both give the same
result.

The package name in the email is : 237510_ENU_i386_zip.exe

Thanks

Ian

Hi Alex,

The local engineer has decided to re-image the machine.
I didn't get to apply the hotfix.
I think the issue could be a broken/stuck group policy firewall rule - but
didn't get to diagnose it any further.

Thanks for your help on this matter.

Regards

Ian
