Recently, I've been having problems connecting to a remote machine via RDP. I can connect fine exactly once, but all subsequent attempts fail until the remote machine is rebooted. I seem to authenticate properly, but the RDP logon dialog disappears after showing, "Configuring remote session..." for a few seconds. No errors or other useful info is written either to my screen or the Event Logs of the two machines involved. I've tried disabling remote sound as others have suggested, with no success.
I'm still investigating a solution, but would appreciate any thoughts. Fortunately, I can reboot the box remotely w/o causing any problems, but this is a less than ideal workaround.

Have you tried closing the connection differently? Also do you have physical access to the machine and have you tried logging in locally after the RDP session? – MBraedley – 2012-02-20T22:05:01.163
Yes, I've tried just X-ing out of the RDP session as well as start-> disconnect. And yep, I've been able to log in locally after an unsuccessful RDP attempt. – Duane – 2012-03-13T23:06:45.910
When the problem occurs again - and you have some folders being shared from the remote computer also - can you please try and connect to these with the same username/password and let us know if this works or not? – Steve Rathbone – 2012-06-14T09:59:48.853
It might be worth trying to rdp in with a new, temp user account and see if this works or not also... – Steve Rathbone – 2012-06-14T10:02:55.870
What OS are you (client) running? What OS is the target (server) running? Windows 7 to Windows 7? If XP is involved, I might have a solution. – Richie086 – 2012-07-08T21:58:02.947
