reboot problem via terminal services

[pie8ter]

We have more than twenty windows 2003 SP2 servers in our datacenter. I use
remote desktop (RDP) to manage these servers. When I reboot the servers
through RDP connection, sometimes the server doesn't let me RDP again after
it reboots. I physically have to go to the server room, open the rack, login
and reboot the server again. Then I can make the RDP connection. Admin and
application modes are enabled on the servers.

This issue has caused me great pain when I reboot the servers from home. I
am not sure why this is happening in all the servers.

Thanks

Check if this helps:

My Terminal Server does not respond after a reboot. How do I solve
this?

Re: reboot problem via terminal services

Does Vera's suggestions helpful for you?
To save you a trip to server room, you can perform remote reboot by using
the shutdown.exe command line tool:
shutdown.exe /m \\RemoteServer /r /t: 0 /f
