I think you need to restart the vncserver (or vnc-service) so it can find the 
console-session.

Next time, try to use an other display number for vncserver in your rdp 
sessions, then the vncserver might be able to run side by side.

Or use the rdp session that hooks to the console session a-la vnc does
