Been having problems where i'm currently working getting a remote site to connect properly to a server with remote desktop.

Every other time the PC's logged on, it wouldn't connect the terminal services sessions, so the local drives and printer were not available from the rdp session (which the site needed).

Googled it but didn't find much to try and resolve the issue - made sure the printers were added on the server; the users profile allowed them the correct permissions; even changed the registry entries for rdp on the users PC.

Double checked the connection via my server at home and it worked fine everytime i logged on, so pointed to an issue on the server - that's when i saw that the PC's had over 1000 rdp connections which kept increasing everytime we logged on.

Rebooted the server and voila - rdp was working correctly - suppose we could have restarted the services, but no-one else was using the server, so a quick and dirty reboot seemed the order of the day.
