XP's Remote Desktop usually will not successfully connect to a stand alone
Win 2003 server. Sometimes it will (maybe 1 out of 6 times). After
clicking "Connect" the remote desktop seems to appear for only an instant on
the client PC, but then disappears immediately w/out any error message, and
even the Remote Desktop dialog box is gone.
If I use an invalid name or password, a remote session appears on XP with
the "Logon Message" pop up box that says "System could not log you on. Make
sure your user name and domain are correct, then type your password again".
But when after I enter the correct name and password and press "enter", the
remote session disappears just like when I used the correct credentials in
Remote Desktop.
I am able to successfully connect every once in a while. But I haven't been
able to identify any reason why. For example, if I retry connecting w/
Remote Desktop quickly one after another. I will likely get a connection
w/in 10 attempts. On the other hand, I've connected immediately after
booting up the client PC and running Remote Desktop.
The event logs on the server seem to be the same either way. The security
log's shows the following sequence of events all w/in the same second:
1- Acct Logon, Evt 680, "Logon attempt by:
MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0"
2- Logon/Logoff, Evt 552, "Logon attempt using explicit credentials"
3- Logon/Logoff, Evt 528, "Successful Logon"
4- Privilege Use, Evt 576, "Special privileges assigned to new logon"
5- Logon/Logoff, Evt 538 "User Logoff" (EVEN THOUGH I STILL HAVE AN REMOTE
SESSION (?)
The System Logs and App Logs don't show any events at that time.
After successfully opening a session, if I disconnect (instead of log off),
it seems that I'm always able to reconnect. But if I log off, I will have
the same trouble.
I've tried two different user's credentials. Both are administrators on the
server. There seems to be no difference.
I've tried this on 2 separate XP computers. There seems to be no difference.
Any ideas?
