How to disable the logon window timeout?

[Guest shamu]

Hello

 

When I 'm executing this command "mstsc /v:mytsserver" it opens a connection

to my terminalserver on which the logon window appears. Now if I don't log

in, the logon windows close automatically after 30 seconds.

 

I would like to configure the terminalserver that he not close the

connection. He should stay with the logon screen until I give my credentials

to log in? I searched for "extending logon timeout" or equal but couldn't

find such a setting. The server is a 2008 Std. Server.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Regards

Patrick

I don't think it's possible.

The logon dialog box disappears automatically after a fixed number

of seconds. You cannot change this, other than by replacing the

GINA on the Terminal Server.

Hello Vera

 

Thanks for your answer. It's a pity that it's not possible. We are trying to

set up Linux thin clients with the X-Server on "Ctrl Alt F7" and a Windows

Terminal Server on "Ctrl Alt F8" using rdesktop to connect to the Terminal

server.

The goal is to boot the thin client from PXE an then the user can choose to

log on to a Linux or Windows Terminal Server choosing "Ctrl Alt F7" or" F8".

But this doesn't work if the connection to the Windows Terminal Server

closes after 30 seconds.

Now I'm looking for an other solution but don't know how I can achieve this.
