Remote Desktop Problems

Recently I haven't been able to get my Win2K3 server (SP1) to accept
incoming Remote Desktop connections. For a while it needed a second re-boot
after being restarted, now it won't start at all.

When attempting to re-start the Terminal Services in Services, I noticed
that Terminal Services couldn't be stopped, or re-started.

Any help would be appreciated

Check Event Viewer for errors.

I've seen this issue cause problems related to this:

I know RDP is not mentioned but it seems to be involved somehow ..

May not apply but is "Terminal Services" licensed? Seem to recall that you
can use Terminal Services in a server role for 120 days without a license -
at which time it will fail.
