Windows 2008 Remote Desktop Session Hangs

[Haris]

I am using remote desktop to administer a Windows 2008 Enterprise server
which does not have a terminal server installed. The remote desktop works
fine most of the time but it seems to hang randomly. Sometimes it recovers
but sometimes I have to disconnect and reconnect to get things working

Haven't used 2008 yet, but in 2003, the "Administration Mode" used in
2000 is gone. You activate Remote access and connect using RDP client.

I'd suggest getting the latest RDP client and see if that helps. Also,
check the event logs (server and workstation) for any errors....
