ERROR_CTX_WINSTATION_ALREADY_EXISTS
ERROR_CTX_WINSTATION_ALREADY_EXISTS means a session or listener with the requested name already exists on the host. This is normally a naming collision during RDS configuration or automation, not an authentication failure.
Enumerate existing listeners and sessions before creating a named WinStation. If deployment is meant to be repeatable, update or reuse the intended object instead of attempting another registration under the same name.
What to check
- List current sessions/listeners and identify the object that already owns the name.
- Check whether a previous configuration attempt completed only partially.
- Use a unique listener or session name in deployment scripts; do not remove an existing session merely because its name collides.
