Terminal Services logon problem
Hi
I have a windows 2003 server box in "remote desktop for administration" mode. It has worked fine until very recently where now if I connect to the box via remote desktop, I am asked for my username and password, which I enter, but when I click OK it gets as far as "applying settings", then it says "saving settings", then "logging off", and then the RDP connection is dropped. This is the same for all users including the administrator. Nothing is logged in the event log.
Any ideas?

See if someone has disabled remote desktop option on the server. Could be that simple ;-)

No it all appears to be switched on in the ts manager.
Cheers for your suggestion, any other ideas?

Check under My Computer - properties - Remote and see if Remote Desktop is ticked.
(Ignore the XP part 2003 is the same):
