Guest Kevin Harms Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Hello, We currently are using Windows 2003 to run some production applications. Our terminals sessions do not load the desktop but rather only open the application to ensure security on our server. In the past when this application was closed it would log out of the terminal session so we are able to log back in. Something changed in the past bit where the terminal session does not log off when the application is closed, so it leave the session open with a blue screen. You can hit ctrl-alt-del and select logoff. Is there a group policy or something I need to change to reenable this feature? Thanks for help.
Guest Jeff Pitsch Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Re: Terminal Server doesn't logoff when app closed Most likely this is a process that has not shut down correctly and is preventing windows from finishing the loggoff process. The next time this happens, go through process by process and kill each one individually. the logoff will continue once you kill the process. Once you have identified the process you can go to HKLM\system\Currentcontrolset/Control\Terminal Server\SysProcs and then add a REG_DWORD valud with the name of the process as the value name. This could also very well be something like Anti-virus program or something like that causing the problem. Look for any recent updates around the time it was happening and you may find the solution there.
