Remote Application

[Guest gmckinley]

When I setup up remote desktop to launch a application, I quite the

application but my remote session is still active. How can I disconect the

session from terminal server?

Re: Remote Application

 

If you define a Starting application, either in Terminal Services

Configuration, a GPO or in the RDP client, the session should be

automatically logged off when users quit the application.

Sometimes, this doesn't happen and users are left with a session

which only shows the desktop background, without the possibility to

log off the session manually. The cause for this problem is a

process which is still running in the session, preventing it from

closing and logging off.

 

To solve the problem, open a connection to the Terminal Server and

check in Task manager which process is keeping the session from

closing. Some anti-virus applications are known to cause this

behaviour.

If you can't avoid running the process, you can use a work-around

to log off user sessions:

 

For a list of known processes which cause this behaviour, check:

 

CTX891671 - Graceful Logoff from a Published Application Keeps

Sessions in Active State

http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX891671

 

If you are running native Terminal Services without Citrix, you can

still use the method described in the "Resolution" section of the

Citrix article, albeit with another registry entry. Windows

Terminal Services keeps its list of system processes in the

following location in the registry:

 

HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\SysProcs

 

If you have identified the process which keeps the session from

logging off, you can create a new REG_DWORD value under the

SysProcs key, with the name of the process as the value name.
