Remote Desktop Won't Connect to my VDS

Post by HankTank2243 »

I seem to be having sudden trouble connecting to my VDS through Remote Desktop. It has been running fine for a good month, but for the past hour or so, it refuses to let me in. It accepts my credidentials and connects to it, but it gets stuck on "Configuring Remote Session". I let it be for a good 30 minutes, and it was still on the step. Anyone have any clue as to why it will not let me in?

Thanks,
Hank

I've had it bug out before on me too preventing me from being able to login. use the VNC in the NFO control panel to control your VDS, then launch services.msc and find the two remote desktop services and restart them. That was the fix for my problem.

I've also seen this happen sometimes when Windows was told to reboot but seems to hang partially into the process -- automatic Windows updates seem to regularly do it. A forced reboot through the "Server control" page should take care of this.

Thanks Guys. I did both, so I don't know which one fixed it. Appreciate the Quick responses, I didn't quite expect to get a reply 2 minutes after I posted.
