The RPC server is unavailable while trying to take Remote Desktop of 2003 Server.

Dear All
Recently I am facing remote desktop login problem in on Windows 2003 Server.
While I am enter user name and password server give me logon error.
"The system cannot log you on due to the following error:
The RPC server is unavailable.
Please try again or consult your system administrator.
Kindly help me.........

I just started spontaneously having this problem yesterday. I am not aware of anything having changed that would prompt it, though I did do a Windows Update on all servers AFTER the problem manifested to see if that might fix it. (No such luck) For reasons
unexplained, the system HAS let me in a few times, though it hasn't been consistent, and now it seems to have locked me out entirely (except through the VSphere back door, explained below). I am running Windows 7 on my laptop, and I have received a report
of the same problem from another employee trying to log in from their computer, which I believe is also running Win7.
I am running two VMWare instances of Server 2003 R2, one Domain Controller and another production environment. I can RDP just fine to the DC, but not the production. Also, using the VSphere VMware management client on a separate machine, I CAN log in to
the production environment without a problem.
I have tried the fixes around restarting stopped services, but nothing has helped yet. I've also tried disabling my anti-virus temporarily, with no effect. I tried pinging the various IP addresses, and received timeouts on the 2 images, as well as their
host server. Again, though, I CAN log into the DC without issue.
Could someone please elaborate on how to create this registry key? On which image would I add this key? (I am a novice user, so using regedit is somewhat unfamiliar to me)
Any other thoughts about potential solutions?
Thanks!
Update Dec 15 2011: Just tried restarting the Production image, via VSphere, and then successfully logged in and out 3 times in quick succession by regular RDP. The symptoms have been temporarily soothed, though I wonder if the underlying problem remains?
Still no answer to why this happened in the first place, so I'd appreciate input.
Update Dec 16 2011: The problem came back this morning, and remained all day. I can still access by VSphere, but have other users who need to access by regular RDP. I'd rather not have to reboot the system constantly just to allow access... Any help is much
appreciated!

  • Option "Deny this user permissions to logon to a Remote Desktop Session Host Server" tuned on

    Last week a lot of users start to complain that they can´t access my TS Server, where there are several Remote Apps published in my TS Gateway server. Everything was fine in the last 3 years.
    We´re investigating an issue related to the Oracle IDM application, maybe the reconcilliantion process is enabling the "Deny this user permissions to logon to a Remote Desktop Session Host Server" option, without our permission
    But the investigation of the problem will take longer, so, i need a method to remove the checkbok of the option, via script or automated method, while we´re investigating the issue, because the users calls, we uncheck the option and everything is fone again,
    but several hours later, the checkbos appears checked (on) again
    I could´t find the option in powershell, nor ADSIEdit/Attribute editor.
    I even couldn´t find the name of the field
    I need to create a qucik-script to sweep the AD, and uncheck the optin, automatically, untill the problem is solved

    Some new information:
    1) The Oracle IDM/OAM solution was "Guilty".
    For some reason, during a regular updated schedulted task for the IDM solution, the field was found with no info, and the software "thought" that the default parameter was "enabled" and all affected users got the "deny" option  checked (this is a weird
    "reverse" misunderstanding, because the proper state is "disabled" in AD, but the software set it to "Enabled", ebcause "thinks" that is "TSAllowLogon", in fact is the oposite meaning.
    2) I could find the "allowLogon" or "TSAllowLogon",  but it is inside a "UserParameter" option, like a multi-valued option:
    Get-ADUser -Filter {SAMAccountNAme -eq '<USERNAME>'} -Properties UserParameters
    The result was:
    UserParameters    : CtxCfgPresent                                   P☺CtxCfgPresent????☺CtxCfgFlags1????☺CtxShadow????*☻☺CtxMinEncryptionLevel?
    The exact same, as seeing in ADSI Edit/Advanced Attribute Editor, but i can see in a 3rd party LDAP browser, the LDAP browser decoded the field, showing a lot of other informations, like AllowLogon=0, among others

  • I got the Mac error code -36 while trying to move a backup file

    I got the Mac error code -36 while trying to move a backup file (made by Time Machine) to another drive.  The full text of the error message is:
    The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “boot.efi” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)

    It's a disk error. Although Apple documentation says you should be able to copy Time Machine backups in the FInder, that doesn't necessarily mean it will work. I suggest that, instead of copying the existing backup, you start a new one on the other drive, and keep the old one. You need more than one backup anyway.

    i can't open my iPhoto, it was working very slow and now its not working at all, when i try to open it it shows this message: The application “iPhoto” unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows.  Do you want to try to restore its windows again?

    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • The application 'Finder' unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows.

    Hello All.  I solicit your help and advice please. 
    When I started up on my Macbook Pro (v10.7.5) this morning the Finder icon was flashing along with a flashing message that states "Restore Windows.  The application 'Finder' unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows.  Do you want to try to restore its windows again?"  This has never happened before.
    Unfortunately, when I try to select "Restore Windows", it will not respond and keeps flashing.  I shut down and tryed a restart but the same thing has happened and I have now lost my Desktop icons and screensaver.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks very much!
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    Hello Brody, and Thank you for responding. 
    I have been on the phone with Apple Support for awhile and they cannot completely diagnose the problem after many attempts at deleting plist files, etc.  This one has them scratching their heads a bit (I must say they have been Excellent with their time and effort). 
    We have reesatblished "Finder" operationally and I have been able to restore and access most files but the problem was resident on the Deskstop I may have to visit the "Genius Desk" for follow-up as necessary.
    I much appreciate your response and am very glad for the Community.  Thank you again.

  • Compressor 4 crashes on opening keep getting this warning: The application "Compressor" unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows.  Do you want to try to restore its windows again? Tried Restoring windows. It crashes again.  Tried not = Same r

    Compressor 4 crashes on opening keep getting this warning: The application “Compressor” unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows.  Do you want to try to restore its windows again? Tried Restoring windows. It crashes again.  Tried not = Same result.  This is the first time I've actually used the app although I purchased it back in April (I think).  I had my first longform project completed in FCPX and tried sending it to Compressor 4 and got this result over and over again. 

    Steve,
    Sorry to say I've not had any success in getting Compressor 4 to work.  I've tried every suggestion mentioned earlier on this topic to no avail.  Compressor 4 is dead in the water.  On the last two projects I had to go back to Compressor 3.x.xx to complete the projects.  The only hint that I have of wha may have happened concerns something I did early on.  When I bought this computer I decided to replace the hard drive with a larger one.  Since I already had my software up and working on the drive that came with the computer I decided to clone everything to the new larger drive.  As I recall, Compressor 4 worked on the original drive but it doesn't work on this cloned version.  So maybe there is a relationship there.  I haven't had a chance yet to reinstall my old drive and see if C 4 works on it.  If it does work then I know the source of the problem but not how to fix it on the new drive.  Did you do anything like cloning your drive recently too?  It's just a thought and may not lead anywhere but later this week when I catch a break I'll give the old drive a try and will post my results.
    Thanks,
    Peter

  • The grace period for the Remote Desktop Session Host server has expired

    <p>I'm running Windows Server 2012, we only have 1 server and it's a DC.  I'm trying to RD to the server from my Windows 7 laptop. It was working fine on Friday but when I came in on Monday I got message saying that 'The remote session was disconnnected
    because there are no Remote Desktop License Servers available to provide a license'
    So after a bit of digging I found out my 'grace period' had expired, so ordered a new license which I got today, installed this all ok but still i cannot connect via RD I get the same message....went into the RD License Diagnoser and it said the problem
    was as follows
    'The grace period for the Remote Desktop Session Host server has expired, but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license servers. Connections to the RD Session Host server will be denied unless a license server is configured for
    the RD Session Host server.'
    Suggested Resolution as follows
    Configure a license server for the Remote Desktop Session Host server. If you have an existing license server, specify that license server for the RD Session Host Server. Otherwise, install RD Licensing on a computer on your network and Configure RD Session
    Host Server to use it.'
    I cannot figure out how to do this as I cannot find the RD Session Host Server tool. 
    Can any of you lovely people help me please

    Hello,
    Best option would be to assign the license server by using AD GPO. Youl will need to configure the following:
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Licensing
    and define the settings for:
    Use the specified Remote Desktop License Server
    Set the Remote Desktop Licensing mode
    Then assign the policy tho your server.

  • Error Code 43 while trying to update CC desktop app

    Hi there,
    I'm getting Error 43 while trying to update CC desktop app. OS is Mavericks 10.9.4. It gets as far as 63% than the following error:
    Installer was unable to access a critical file/directory. Please try installing again.(Error code: 43)
    Guessing this is a permissions problem, but not sure where to look/start.
    Edit to add: I'm on the Free Trial at the moment, if that makes any difference. All applications are working fine, otherwise.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

  • [Forum FAQ] Troubleshoot the error "The Remote Desktop Session Host server is in Per User licensing mode and No Redirector Mode"

    Symptom
    RD License server is a key component of RDS. It licenses users to access RDS servers.
    After purchase the required RDS CALs, we need to activate the RDS License server and install the purchased RDS CALs. However, during the installation or after installation, we may face errors
    about RDS License.
    In most cases, the following error may occur.
    Error:
    The Remote Desktop Session Host server is in Per User licensing mode and No Redirector Mode, but license server "Server name" does not have any installed licenses with the following
    attributes:
    Product version: Windows Server 2012
    Licensing mode: Per User
    License type: RDS CALs
    Troubleshooting
    1. Check whether the RD License Configuration is configured properly and there are no Warnings in the Event.
    2. The License Server should be part of 'RD Server License' group in Active Directory Domain Services.
    3. Check if the Licensing Mode is correct.
    - To change the Licensing Mode we can use RD Licensing diagnose, PowerShell cmdlet and Group Policy.
    Via PowerShell cmdlet:
    To change the licensing mode on RDSH/RDVH:
    $obj = get-wmiobject -namespace "Root/CIMV2/TerminalServices" Win32_TerminalServiceSetting
    $obj.ChangeMode(value)
    # Value can be 2 - per Device, 4 - Per user
    Via Group Policy
    Path: Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Licensing
    Use the specified RD license servers = FQDN of server name
    Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode =
    Per User
    However, if issue persists, please provide detailed information and post the question in the
    Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services) forum.
    Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

    Hi Richard,
    You need to uninstall Remote desktop session host feature. After removing it, you will default two connections which does not need to purchase RD CALs'.

  • Windows Server 2012 The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured

    Hi
    I have a standard Windows Server 2012 that is hosted in the cloud by a hosting provider -
    This server has been up and running fir 6 months - recently we have been getting a warning
    "The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured" - The Remote Desktop Session Host server is within its grace period, but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license server.
    Yet, we only use this with 2 connections as part of the standard licence agreement and this server is not used as a user's desktop only an ftp and web server- do therefore we do not need to purchase any cal licences (we have another server with the same
    hosting company that does not have this issue and has been up for 18months)
    Please can someone advise how I resolve this issue, the hosting company states that I must resolve it as they only host and resell the server licence
    Thank-you

  • The Remote Desktop Connection Broker server could not enumerate the targets for the provider named NULL from the database.

    When I try to install Connection Broker on a Windows 2012 R2 Server in a Windows 2003 domain I get this error:
    The Remote Desktop Connection Broker server could not enumerate the targets for the provider named NULL from the database.
    Pooled virtual desktop collection name: NULL
    Error: Logon to the database failed.
    I have added both the Connection Broker server and the 2 remote desktop servers (also Windows 2012 R2 Servers) to the "Windows Authorization Access Group" in the domain according to this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331951
    But it still does not work :-(
    I keep getting same error....
    Any idea what I might be missing ?

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Firstly please let us know by which method you have setup RDS role. You can have more advantage and feature when you will install with Standard deployment instead of Quick start deployment. So if you have setup with quick start option then you can try installing
    with standard type and check the result.
    In addition, please check SQL server database is properly configured for RDS server. Also check that domain controller properly communicates. Kindly go through below thread for more information.
    Server 2012 RDS - Remote
    Desktop Connection Broker Client failed to redirect the user domain\username. Error: NULL
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • The Remote Desktop Session Host server is within its grace period Question

    On my Windows 2012 Server, when I open the RD Licensing Diagnoser, I see this:
    The Remote Desktop Session Host server is within its grace period, but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license server.
    Configure a license server for the Remote Desktop Session Host server. If you have an existing license server, specify that license server for the RD Session Host server. Otherwise, install RD Licensing on a computer on your network and Configure RD Session
    Host server to use it.
    I have a few questions.  First, I have 10 virtual machines setup (all Windows 7 Enterprise).  I have my 10 VDI licenses for those machines.  Do I need another license for my Remote Desktop Session Host?  If not, how do I license my RD Session
    Host Server?  If so, does anyone know how much they cost?  I have no licensing server.  I just have my Windows 2008 server that is my AD and DNS Server (where my GPO's sit too) and my Windows 2012 server that is dedicated to only running VM's
    for the remote users.

    you should probably speak to a licensing expert as it can start getting fairly complicated and we wouldn't want to advise you incorrectly. Generally if you speak to a LAR (Large Account Reseller) they should be able to provide the guidance you need.

  • How can I Deny permissions to logon to Remote Desktop Session Host server in powershell script?

    I am need of some assistance please. I am a system admin and I am trying to create a script that will assist with the tedious tasks I have to do with disabling a user that no longer works for the company.
    I have created a script so far that will reset the users passwords and remove them from all groups (minus domain users).
    I am trying to make it where it will deny permissions to logon to Remote Desktop Session Host server as well as give full mailbox permission to the manager in Exchange Server 2010.
    I know with Exchange 2010, I will need to add the Powershell snapin. Is there a way for this to be added into the script? I am thinking to add the code:
    add-pssnapin Microsoft.exchange.management.powershell.e2010
    Is there another way to do this? Any help or recommendations would be much appreciated.
    $ou = Get-ADUser -SearchBase "<*OU info here*>" -Filter * |
    Set-ADAccountPassword -Reset -NewPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText "<*Password here*>" -Force)
    foreach ($user in $ou) {
    $UserDN = $user.DistinguishedName
    Get-ADGroup -LDAPFilter "(member=$UserDN)" | foreach-object {
    if ($_.name -ne "Domain Users") {remove-adgroupmember -identity $_.name -member $UserDN -Confirm:$False} }

    Why not just disable the account?Why are you searching an OU foro users when you just want to terminate one user?
    You can remotely connect an exchange session and manipulate the mailbox permissions.  You do not load a snap-in except on the Exchange server.
    $Session=New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://<FQDN of Exchange 2013 Client Access server>/PowerShell/
    Import-PSSession $Session
    # exchange commands here
    \_(ツ)_/
    We have a checklist we have to go through with the tasks listed. We have to keep to the account enabled until HR changes
    the status which is usually 30-90 days depending. Managers sometimes need to access the accounts to retrieve information, etc. We put the users in an OU; once we are given permission from the manager we move forward in the removal.
