do so, you receive the following error: Error connecting to existing session for

succeed on the first attempt after a reboot but fail on subsequent attempts. There is more than one possible reason for this error. It can be caused by non-Windows services interfering with the connection attempt. To rule this out, use the following procedure: Type msconfig at a command prompt to open the System Configuration utility. In the Services tab, check the Hide all Microsoft services box and click the Disable all button. Click OK to close the System Configuration utility, then reboot the server. When the server reboots, use mstsc /admin to attempt to connect to the console session again. If the connection succeeds, it may be a good idea to attempt another connection to make sure you can connect consistently. If you are able to connect consistently, re-enable the disabled services one by one until the problem returns. The last service enabled is the one causing the problem. Contact the appropriate software vendor for further assistance. The problem can also be caused by existing remote sessions that are failing to close properly. In order to force all existing sessions to close, you can reset the server's RDP listener. To do so, perform the following steps: Open Terminal Services Manager from the Administrative Tools menu. Expand the server in the left pane. Right-click the RDP-Tcp listener object beneath the server and select Reset.Note: The next step will abruptly disconnect any users currently connected to the server via RDP. All legitimate RDP sessions should be logged off prior to completing this step. Click OK to confirm.The listener will be reset, and all existing sessions will close. You should now be able to connect with no errors. Quick Tips content is self-published by the Dell Support Professionals who resolve issues daily.

FROM USER: Any work I have open in an existing session is being lost. I typically log in and then will perform some work. When I get home I typically reconnect and then continue my work. I was able to log in after the error. But if I had disconnected and tried to re-login, it would give me the error and bring up a new session. I would lose any http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/SLN249309/en?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04 open files I had.

Then they can log back in at home. https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/155844-error-connecting-to-existing-session-in-rdp No need to keep the session active IMO. It seems poor practice to leave unsaved work on a RDP session anyway. Unless you like doing the same work again and again. 0 Mace OP Denis Kelley Sep 13, 2011 at 1:53 UTC Any errors generated on the server that might shine some light? 0 Poblano OP Best Answer erikbrandvig Sep 13, 2011 at 3:57 UTC i believe you may want to check your remote user settings in AD. obviously this user is a remote user and able to initiate remote sessions. but there is a switch in AD that allows the user to connect from anywhere back into his current session. it's in the "sessions" tab (in 2003), called "allow reconnection: from any client" i can't guarantee that's your issue, and "from any client" is the default behavior, but it may have been changed in group policy. edit: and what client is he using? mstsc? citrix? edit: http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/error-connecting-existing-session-solved-t649045.html and maybe he has an nvidia video card at home? hahahh 1 This discussion has been inactive for over a year.

The operation completed successfully.I'm sure I'm connecting to the console and it works for connecting to other 2003 servers in my domain, but not to thisone. Any idea on how to get around this?(I'm currently connecting to the server with VNC, but I would rather fix the RDP problem.)
