Hello Everyone, I run in to weird issue.

I am running windows server 2016. I am running few VMs using VMWare workstation for project purpose.

RDP works fine normally. once I disconnect & try to connect next day I cant connect to server at all.

It requires reboot to connect to server again.

Is it due to stale session ?

I added one port forwarding entry using netsh to reach one of the internal IP, I dont think it should be causing any issue.

Is there anyone who faced similar issue may help with some ideas.

Thanks.

    Don't know. But if you run VMware Workstation on your local machine, there's no need for RDP. I think it works better with the console. There you also have the tabs to switch between your VMs and easy access to your network editor.
