This issue comes and goes happened to few different 2008R2 servers.
Symptom:
Open Remote Desktop Connection with server’s name, click “Connect”.
After configuring remote session message, I put in the username and password, click OK.
It open the remote server windows, but it seems to be disconnected and close Windows immediately and back to Remote Desktop Connection again.
I have tried “Reboot server”, Reset the “RDP-Tcp session” without success.
There is no Error/Critical/Warning log in the Windows eventlogs.
By login server via console, I noticed something different in RDS Manager. Here is screenshot right after server rebooted.
Server Session User ID State
Srv1 Services 0 Disconnected
Srv1 Console User1 1 Active
Srv1 listener listener 65536 Listen
Srv1 RDP-Tcp listener 65537 Listen
After first RDP attempt failed, there is a new session created with Down state.
