I ran a program/programs that has/have made the server unresponsive and I cannot reconnect via RDP. What should I do?
If you are attempting to reconnect via RDP, try SSH. You should be able to reconnect and terminate the relevant proccess(es). If you simply want to terminate all your processes, try “pkill -u ULID” or “kill -1 -9”. Note: the latter will also terminate your SSH connection. You should then be able to reconnect via RDP or SSH without issues shortly thereafter.
I cannot log in to one of the terminal servers.
It is possible that the server you are attempting to connect to may be under heavy load. Please try a different terminal server.
When attempting to connect to a terminal server via RDP or SSH, the connection is refused or I cannot ping the server. What are my options?
It’s possible that either you are experiencing network issues. First verify that you’re connected via VPN, if you’re off campus. Second, try to ping a different server on the network, such as vdi.ad.ilstu.edu. If this fails as well, you most likely are experiencing network issues and will need to perform additional troubleshooting. If, however, you are certain a terminal server is unreachable and you are not experiencing network related disruptions, please submit a ticketvia our support site.
