I just did the monthly scans & MS updates on a dozen Win7 systems remotely using RDP over a VPN. After rebooting I am unable to connect/authenticate to any (but 1) of the systems now.
To clarify: It seems to connect and asks for the password (which was saved on my system). I type in the password and it flashes for a second then returns to the local RDP screen (not the login screen).
The first system I did didn't have this issue and I am currently logged in to it. From it I get the same problem trying to RDP to any of the other systems on the LAN. I am afraid to log off this particular system as I'm trying to get it backed up so I can replace a failing hd when I get the chance to go onsite. I have no doubt if I log off I won't be able to get back in to it. And of course this is the boss's system . . .
. I'm currently trying to copy his main data to a spare system (thru existing net shares) in case his system completely dies before I can get there tomorrow.
I have not updated either of 2 Server 2008 R2 systems and can access them fine thru RDP. However I am unable to access the workstations from the Servers.
I can access Network shares from the system I'm logged in to so I know the workstations are up and running.
I usually wait a couple of days to do updates to avoid these kind of situations. Guess I need to go back to procrastinating again . . . LOL
Anyone else seeing this?
