The task you are trying to do can’t be completed because Remote Desktop Services is currently busy
Daghoberto:Thank you for reaching out for those issues. I recommend to file a support request as those issues might have different root causes. Additional logs will help to pin down those issues.
not sure if you have a fixe yet, but i had a similar issue today on a windows 2016 server. Some background as to what i think caused the issue. I was trying to RDP to a server, but both sessions were in use, so i left the screen open while checking with the guys if i could log either of them off, however, i got sidetracked and forgot about. Eventually, i recalled having a need to login, so i went back and instead of clicking "cancel" on the screen, i decided to "reconnect", so not cancelling my login attempt. all subsequent RDP requests resulted in the message " the task you are trying to do can be competed .. "
So to the simple fix for my issue.
ran quinsta /server:servername to see for any sesions ..
i saw "session 4" which had no session name or username but had a session ID,
Then,
used tasklist /s servername to view the tasks, but used a filter
tasklist /s "servername"/fi "session eq 4"
Then, i killed the LogonUI.exe , using the PID with Taskkill
taskkill /s servername /PID 4692
I tried kill winlogon, but that was not allowed.
hope this works for someone else who is unable to reboot the machine to fix it .
