Guest Dan Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 We have 3 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 Terminal Servers. We are having a problem with when a user is working remotely and the internet drops. When the users line drops the session should go to disconnected right. Instead the session is completely logged off the server. I have a policy set for our terminal servers in AD to set keep alives and auto reconnection and we have idle and disconnected session limits of 3 hours but it logs the session off within 2 minutes after the users loses a network connection. 2 of these servers are in a load balancing config with session directory and are experiencing the same issue. It works fine if the user disconnects the session by clicking on x. So what gives? Any ideas why the session won't go to a disconnected state is you drop the network connection?
Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Re: 2003 TS Session not going to disconnected When the network connection is lost, the session is actually "broken". Check your settings in Terminal Services Configuration - RDP-TCP connection - properties - Sessions "When session limit is reached or connection is broken" Have you configured the action there to "Disconnect from session", or to "End session"? _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ =?Utf-8?B?RGFu?= <dmorris@basicbusiness.com> wrote on 10 jul 2007 in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > We have 3 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 Terminal Servers.

That was it. It is worded different in Group Policy Settings in AD "Terminate session when time limits are reached" I might have clued in if it had have been worded as the setting that is actually effects in TS. :) "Vera Noest [MVP]" wrote: > When the network connection is lost, the session is actually > "broken". > > Check your settings in > Terminal Services Configuration - RDP-TCP connection - properties - > Sessions > "When session limit is reached or connection is broken" > > Have you configured the action there to "Disconnect from session", or > to "End session"? > _________________________________________________________ > Vera Noest > MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server > TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net > ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ > > =?Utf-8?B?RGFu?= <dmorris@basicbusiness.com> wrote on 10 jul 2007 > in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > > > We have 3 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 Terminal Servers.
