How to FIX the Windows Server 2012 RDS deployment “The server has reboots pending and needs to be restarted Print

  • 0

 

If you have tried to Deploy Remote Desktop Services (formerly Terminal Services) on a Windows Server 2012 machine, more than likely you have run into this issue.

When using the wizard you run into this screen:


rdssetup



Solution:

This solution requires editing the registry of the Windows 2012 Server.

Run “regedit” to open the Registry Editor

Navigate to: “HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

If PendingFileRenameOperations exists,  DELETE the key and reboot the server.

After reboot, you will be able to finish the deployment.
