RDP errors out trying to login windows 2008 server SP2

rdpserviceterminalwindows-server-2008

I try to RDP into windows 2008 SP2, box from anything (vista, server 2008, windows 7) and get this error on the login process

the terminal connection is currently busy processing a connect, disconnect, reset or delete operation,

I can't seem to get to it, any ideas short of rebooting or killing any open sessions?

What is a good way to diagnose this problem not much out there.

Try running the following via CMD.exe:

qwinsta /server:[windows 2008 sp2 box]

where [windows 2008 sp2 box] is the DNS or IP address of the box you're trying to RDP into.

This should tell you what the open sessions are. Please post that information here.

If you find a particular session that you want to kill explicitly, take note of the ID that is shown for it and use the following command to execute the kill:

logoff [id] /server:[windows 2008 sp2 box]
