SMS: Remote Control Screen Freezes When a Remote Desktop Connection Is Started

This article was previously published under Q301941

SYMPTOMS

When you are initiating a Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) Remote Control session into a Microsoft Windows XP client, the screen may freeze if a Remote Desktop session is also started from a separate computer to the same Windows XP client. When the Remote Desktop session finishes, the SMS administrator can pass keyboard and mouse commands to the remote computer, but the administrator may be unable to receive any screen refreshes from the client.

CAUSE

This issue can occur because SMS is not aware of the conventions that are used in Windows XP to signal that a Remote Desktop session is starting.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, disconnect the SMS remote control session, and then reconnect after the Remote Desktop session finishes.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 Standard Edition

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
