Hi John:

I was looking up another issue and ran across this article and thought of
your question a few dys ago about your speed or lack of it as your databases
get older and slower. This might be caused by fragmentation of the indexes
and the following link might help you out:

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Initial start of remote desktop fails - Windows
2003

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?
