Window Terminal Server 2003

I have the following message on the Window 2003. Reboot the server doesn't help. Any idea ?

"The requested operation cannot be completed because the terminal connection is currently busy processing a connect, disconnect, reset or delete operation"

Is there any way to see which sessions (or terminal users) take high resource usage on the servers ?

What's the green line and blue line indicated in the 2nd graphic (Disk) ?

Is that normal for the session with this CPU indicated ? Tks

disk:
the blue line should represent the disk queue lenght and i prefer not higher than 1 (other say disks *4)
the green line displays the mb/sec disktraffic.

80% CPU load is very high.
open the taskmanager. at the process list select "all users processes" and at "view>select collumns" add the session id or username. so you can see the owner of the proccess.
also the cumulative cpu-time could be a good hint.

how many users/sessions you have at this server?
I had the same issue, fixed it like this:

1.I just drain the users to another server, and reboot it when it is empty.

It is a bit of a pain, but our farm is not so busy that it can't handle the load, and after doing it several times a month for at least a year, I have gotten quite good at it :-)

2. Start Process Explorer on your terminal server ( http://live.sysinternals.com/procexp.exe )
Search up the username that got the error
You should find a winlogon.exe process connected to the user with the problem, get the PID and kill it in Process Explorer or Task Manager.

Good luck!
hi jool13,
please note: "Reboot the server doesn't help".
After rebooting the Server no userprocesses should be left.

What's the root cause of this message ? Does it indicate a resource issue on the TS server ? Tks
this is a common message from ts if too many remote connections created at the same time... typically.
if this message occurs if no new sessions should be established or the server is in idle state there are an error somewhere.

Is it a resource issue ?
What performance counters and acceptable values can be collected to identify the root cause ?

Follow the link but doesn't work.. I can't see any session for the user that can't login. No .scr as mentioned in your url.

The performance seem fine (cpu, memory, etc).  However, other user can login to the server as normal. Only the user disconnect from the server can't login back.

Already checked and I can't see the disconnect session for the user. Very strange...

Tks

Hello!

Sorry it did not help you but here is possibly a little more help though this, I get short of solution proposed to the problem. So now I keep my fingers crossed for you that it will work.

One:

Close any of the Winlogon and/or all processes for the username who is unable to login or facing this error
If there are no visible processes for the reported user neither in GUI procexp.exe or command line terminal services commands qwinta/query, you may need to restart the computer
Ensure RDP/TS licenses are available
Try clearing the local user profile and login again
Ensure RDP/TS licenses are available

Try this two:

Analysis
======
Based on my research, this issue can happen because of several reasons:
1. Group policy settings.
2. RPC service not configured correctly.
3. Third party software.
4. Other unknown reasons.
To troubleshoot the problem, please follow the steps below and tell me the
results.

Suggestion
========
Step 1: Check GPO settings
=================
Please check the following GPO on the server.
1. Run RSOP.msc on the server and check the following setting:
Computer Configuration\Administrative templates\Windows Components\Terminal
services\Sessions
Check the "Set Time limit for disconnected sessions" which should be set to
Disabled or Not Configured

2. If the setting is configured, please check at what level it is
configured(i.e. on domain policy, OU policy or local policy). We can see
this from Source GPO section of the policy resultant and change the policy
to Disabled or Not Configured.

3. Run "gpupdate /force" to refresh group policy on the server and the DC.

Step 2: Check the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service
================
1. Click Start->Run.
2. Type "services.msc" (without the quotation marks) and press Enter.
3. Double-click the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service in the right pane
and click Logon tab.
4. Ensure "Local System account" is selected and click OK.
5. Restart the computer and test the issue.

Step 3: Turn off Windows Firewall
=================
1. Log on as Administrator or a user with Administrator privileges.
2. Click "Start", select "Control Panel" and select Windows Firewall.
3. Select the option "Off (not recommended)" to turn off Windows Firewall.

Step 4: Uninstall Prism software
==============
If you have installed any prism software (such as USB 2.0 Wireless LAN s/w)
on either the server or client machines the same issue will happen. If this
is the case we need to un-install the software.

Step 5: Apply latest service pack
=============
Please apply the latest service pack on the server if you have not done
yet.

Information needed
===============
If the problem persists, I would appreciate your help in providing the
following information for further analysis:
1. Please run "gpresult /v >c:\gpresult.txt" on the server and send me the
gpresult.txt file in C: drive.
2. Please run "msinfo32.exe" on the server. This will open up System
information and click File->Save. Please send me the file as well.

I have go to GUI session but in fact, I can't see the name shown up.
