Hi Pat Can you confirm your server load goes to 10000 when this occurs. I have
an issue where session is in a down state and load=10000 Just want to reconfirm
before applying these hotfixes. Like you the down state issue occurred after
patching.. ThanksAng

Per MS, the issue indeed extends to both listeners, ICA and RDP. There has not
been a security hotfix for Termsrv.dll for years. A couple of supporting
components got hotfixed in March, but termsrv.dll was left out. Either of the
two articles below fix the issue. I use the newer one (977629) as it has
tested without issue and might keep me out of hot water down the road.

This is good info to keep on file for anyone dealing with Citrix/Terminal
Services on 2003.

Alan,
Makes sense to me. I only ever experienced the issue in a full TS environment
(well XenApp actually). But it could happen either to RDP or ICA connections.
Rarely both at the same time – so you could be limping along with RDP broken
and ICA fine, or vice versa. In the event log there would be an error message
along the lines of an RDP (or ICA) component (a .dll) was
missing/corrupt/illegal – so the service was unavailable. There was a
suggestion in other KB articles that AV was modifying the file in some way and
it should be excluded. This was not the case.
I found the only way to fix the problem was to rebuild up until I came across
the patch.

Does this apply to any server (Windows 2003)? i.e. terminal services as opposed
to a pure terminal server. We're occasionally seeing a down RDP-Tcp listener
after a reboot but not just on terminal servers. Curiously those that are
terminal servers usually have the ICA-Tcp listener up !!. Seems to happen more
on our VMs (VMware) but last week I had it on a physical box. It's not 100%
clear from the KB below.
Let me know if any of that didn't make any sense.
Regards,
Alan.

Subject: [THIN] Session Down State
Hi, Just been patching my Windows 203 Servers with the last 3 months windows
patches, I was my doubts but have now proved that when I put these patches on
every time I reboot I get a session down.
I have just finished rebuilding a couple of servers and have one still to do.
So I tried patching another one and same problem, has anyone identified the
patch or had similar issues lately.
This there were 30 patches in all, going to have to try and identify which
one. Thanks
