User not being logged off according to settings in AD..

[Guest Brad Pears]

We are using a Windows 2003 (SP1) terminal server to support remote users

etc.... Our domain controller is a Windows 2000 Small Bus Server.

 

I do not have the "terminal services configuration" settinss configured at

all on the actual terminal server itself - because we have different users

with different requirements. Because of this I use the "Sessions' tab in

each users AD profile to configure the disconnect times, active session

limit etc... etc...

 

However, for some reason, when a user either disconnects their session

manually or gets disconnected for some other reason and never logs back on

again, the session never gets logged out automatically after the set time of

"1 hour" (which is what I set in the 'End a disconnected session' item for

most users). The user session will stay disconnected forever if I do not

physically disconnect it! This has caused some issues for us. (It happens

for all sessions)

 

Does anyone have any ideas why this may be happening? There is no group

policy settigns that are overriding this and as I mentioned earlier, I do

not have it configured at all in the "Terminal Services Configuration'

application on the actual terminal server - and it is not set to 'Override

user settings in there either....

 

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated...

 

Thanks, Brad
