Hello

I have a long running script - that I execute on a windows server.
The script i simply run under an windows command prompt

the script successfully completes after 4 + hours and writes results to a file.
However, nobody can access the server via RDP - not even myself.

I have to ask an administrator to restart the server and then we can RDP to the server and copy the file with correct results?

Why would a python script cause issues with RDP?

Thanks
Ian
have you looked in the windows event logs (application etc) to see if there are any errors or timeouts or whatevers?? and when you say a long running script some more info would be helpful like what is it doing is it processing a database for instance with like a billion records, there needs to be more detail and analysis than what you have supplied
