We have a Windows Server 2008 R2 box running Hyper-V hosting VM's. The server is a Dell M610 Blade server. The VM's are performing normally.
However, I cannot RDP into the server. I get prompted for username and password, then after I hit enter I am returned to the RDP connection screen.
I tried to connect Event Viewer remotely and got an Access Denied error.
I went to the chassis console and used the iDRAC gui to access the server. However, when I send the Ctrl-Alt-Del keystrokes, all I get on the screen is a Cancel button, no boxes for logging in with user name and password.
Anyone have any ideas what is going on?
try rdpclient version 5. you need to hack around a bit to get it running in parallel with xpsp2+ clients which have version 6 "build-in" it helped me to get in to windows 2008R2, later on i restarted DC and I could magically log on to every srv. windows2003 was behaving normally.
I don't know what was going on but a reboot fixed the issue. I tried using an older version of the RDP client with no success.
