Re: Trouble Restarting via RDP
Well I've been using other methods to restart while logged in via RDP for a
while now. I either use shutdown /r from a command prompt or reboot while
logging into the console via Dell DRAC. If I remember correctly there wasn't
anything obvious in event manager. When logged in via RDP, it made no
difference if I clicked OK to reboot after Windows Updates installed, or if I
cancled that & went to Start>Shutdown. Logging into the server with the Dell
DRAC console after a failed RDP restart attempt, the server appeared normal
with a few services shutdown. Using the DRAC console, I was able to restart
normally from Start>Shutdown. I will have to initiate a normal restart again
from RDP & check for any errors on my next reboot cycle.
