Hi, I got a few questions regarding TS and how to configure the following

I've configured each of our remote users using the RDP 6 client - it
launches our custom datebase application when then login.

Anyways, I've configured the group policies to
- Keep-Alive the connection -Enabled (no one likes to login in if they are
inactive for a while)
- Automatic reconnection -Enabled (reconnect if they loose connectivity)
- Restrict Terminal server users to a single remote session - Enabled

That all works well, the issues I'm facing are people are shutting down the
session (using the x in the yellow bar) but the application is still running.

When they attempt to log back in they get a blank screen.
I have to manually reset their connection.

How can I reset their connection (and shut down the application) when they
disconnect?

Any suggestions?

Thanks In Advance,
JG
 
You can monitor terminal servers and reset or log off session with
tsadmin.exe (included in Windows).

I hope this helps.

Hi, yes I know that. I want to do this automatically. If I'm not in the
office they'll be stuck.

OK, sorry for the misunderstanding. Please have a look at the settings
on the RDP listener in Terminal Services Configuration. There you can
set a time limit in minutes after which a disconnected session is
being logged off. Alternatively this can be set in the AD user
account.

I hope this helps.

You can configure a short time out limit (say 5 minutes) on
disconnected sessions and have them automatically reset when the
limit is reached.
This is done in Terminal Services Configuration or in a GPO.

Our postings overlapped. Vera is, of course, right. The third place to
set the timeout is a GPO. And yes, if you use this then disconnected
sessions are not being logged off but reset.

Thanks, I set the time out to 1 minute in the gpo and it works great.
