The event viewer shows: Event id: source browser. The browser was unable to update the service status bits.

The data is the error. I am getting this error message since 1st of May on two servers. Problem solved after rebooting servers but I could not find the source of this problem , any ideas will be helpful.. Best Regards Osman spirit.

Tuesday, May 12, PM. Hello Osman, Glad to hear that the issue is not occuring anymore on your servers. One of the first things that you might notice is that the CD command Change Directory behaves strangely. By default, the CD command is restricted to allow you to move deeper into the directory structure, but not to let you backtrack. I have absolutely no idea what Microsoft's reasoning was behind this.

What makes the restrictions on the CD command even stranger is the fact that Microsoft included a comparable command with fewer restrictions. First, any time that you use CHDIR, or any other command, to access a file or folder with a long file name multiple words such as Program Files , the file or folder name must be placed in quotation marks. This leads me to the other quirk that you need to know about.

It might seem strange not to have access to the entire system being that you are the Administrator, but as I explained earlier, Microsoft has seriously restricted access as a safety feature to protect your data in the event that you have to let someone else work on your server. By default, there are only four things that you are allowed to access from the Recovery Console.

These include:. There are also some other restrictions placed on the Recovery console as well. EXE , then all files in the current directory with the.

EXE extension would be deleted. In the Recovery Console though, the asterisk does not act as a wild card. This is a safety feature to prevent you from accidentally deleting, renaming, or modifying multiple files. As I will show you later though, there is a way to get wild card functionality back. Another way that the Recovery Console protects Windows is by controlling access to removable media. Remember, removable media is one of the four things that the Recovery Console gives you access to.

However, the default access level to the removable media is read only. This prevents a consultant from copying pieces of your server's registry to a floppy in an effort to later use the stolen information to crack passwords. Again, the restrictions on removable media can be circumvented through a technique that I will show you later. The final security measure that the Recovery Console uses to protect you from yourself is copy protection. In my opinion, this feature isn't really a big deal.

The copy protection doesn't stop you from overwriting a file on your hard disk. It simply prompts you to confirm that you really do want to overwrite the file. If this is too much of a nuisance to you though, this protection too can be disabled. Server Fault is a question and answer site for system and network administrators.

It only takes a minute to sign up. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. I need to limit 1 machine's RDP capabilities to only allow the console session much as the windows client behaviour. It is a windows server R2 std. As far as I know I can limit the number of sessions Active in server rdp config. But no option to only allow console sessions.

Anyone got any britght ideas? VNC is not an option. This will logoff session 1. If you are connecting in rdp through the console, you are session 0 and not 1. Do you actually need to see how the remote computer draws the console wrapper, or do you need a console-only access?

If it's the latter, consider using SSH - both OpenSSH and DropBear should be able to run on WS ; you're only transmitting the characters, not a part of the screen, plus the connection is encrypted. Interestingly, the "Log on to:" dropdown in the "Unlock Computer" dialog contains lots of blank lines i. You may consider asking yourself why people are logging onto the console of a DC, but that's off-topic.
