Logoff / Disconnect difference in Terminal Services Manager

July 1, 2008

Hi!

When I conect to Terminal Services Manager or if I see a Users tab in Task

manager when connected to Windows 2003 Server I see two options: Logoff /

Disconnect. Which one is for what? In both cases user is isconnected, right?

So what is the difference?

Logoff closes the user's applications and releases the session and

resources allocated to the user.

Disconnect leaves the applications running, and is more similar to the

user locking their workstation and walking away (okay, maybe more like

the user unplugging their monitor and keyboard too)

Depending on your TS configuration, a disconnected session may

automatically log off after a period of time.
