I use RD to work on the servers in my office from my laptop in my office (entirely within my LAN). When I attempt to connect RD, it fails completely and always if I have not first logged in to the server manually, through the keyboard / mouse connected to that machine. IOW I have to use my KVM switch to physically see the machine, AND log in, THEN RD will work from my laptop. If I use the KVM to go to the physical machine and log out, RD from the laptop will continue to work IF ALREADY CONNECTED, but will fail if I close the RD session and try to RD back in. IOW RD simply cannot connect if there is not already a user logged in. Additionally, once I have done that manual / initial login to the physical machine, RD will fail the first time I try it. I have to try to connect, immediately cancel that attempt, then try it again and then it connects right in. I can close the RD session and start it again, no problem (as long as that other user is still connected). So... has anyone seen this behavior? Has anyone seen a solution to that problem such that RD will work first time / every time, regardless of anything? -- John W. Colby www.ColbyConsulting.com
