I'm a little lost on this one guys.

I used to have no problem connecting to the server via RDP. For whatever reason, starting thursday, it's been a pain in the arse. Nothing has changed, we haven't updated anything.

-Firewalls off
-AV temporarily shut down (allowed me to get in on the 5th attempt)
-I've restarted the process multiple times







It's working sporadically. Anybody know? Google wasn't that helpful

Service stopping and starting itself? Anything in eventviewer?

Run a continuous ping test, see if it is dropping packets. Could be a poor connection.

Are you connecting via name or IP? If name, try direct to IP in case the DNS is acting up.

As the first poster said, check eventviewer to see if the service is having issues.

After looking through other sever logs

I found the culprit.

I got 300k attempts on our work server trying to log into the admin account. Somebody was spoofing their IP and I got it showing attempts from Iran, Ukraine, Pakistan, China, ect.

Brute force attempt is what it looks like.

Now changing our RDP port forwarding and switching some settings in the server
