  Sure, but as I say comms appeared fine from the tests done; was thinking 
'what other tests might be a good idea'

  Hi, 

  I've got a w2k3sp2 terminal server build with CPS 4.5FR01. All users connect 
to published applications - typically simple Office apps - normally just 
Outlook.

  Occasionally sessions are locking up . new sessions won't start - users see 
'authenticating' in the windows logon dialogue. Existing sessions simply lock 
up as if there is some processing going on, or the connection has dropped. Lots 
of 'down' sessions start appearing. 

  CPU low, memory use low, redirector not reporting any issues; Disk i/o fine; 
redirector fine; doesn't appear to be a 'lack of resource' issue.

  Edgesight SP2 is running, there is AV (f-secure 5.55), they've got the MS 
Profile Unloader running and they're running hybrid profiles with Appsense.

  I've been able to get the issue to happen on a ZDC that only had an admin on. 
On disconnecting with the Admin Console running, the console session stayed at 
"disconnected"; when attempting to reconnect there was an error message on the 
new RDP console session with 'Error: The requested operation cannot be 
completed because the terminal connection is currently busy'. New RDP terminal 
sessions would start for a period after that - but then they started to hang on 
'authenticating', locking up etc. etc. 

  The down/disconnected session steadfastly refused to be anything other than 
that. After a while the Admin console running from another machine would 
happily taunt me with showing the 'disconnected' and down sessions on the 
server, but refused to show processes. Then it stopped playing altogether.

  So..

  Has anyone else had a similar problem with that particular error message?  
("The requested operation cannot be completed because the terminal connection 
is currently busy")

  Or, has anyone any additional ideas for investigating the 'down' sessions - 
looks to be that a process is refusing to die and that in itself locks up the 
creation of new sessions  - it even impacts on existing sessions to the extent 
of the sessions locking up completely (which in turn go to disconnected, then 
'down' and stay there) but finding which process it is proving quite character 
building. 

  Tia.
