RE: [ActiveDir] OT: disconnecting remote TS session on DC

I think you can set this setting in GPO. If you go to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Sessions and there you can enable "Set time limit for disconnected ssessions" and set it to 1 minute.

Normally what I will do is use the console switch (if they are 2003 servers) and free up the 2 in use connections. So its basically I use a 3rd allowed RDP connection.

 

Start, then run: mstsc /v:servername /console

 

But there are definetly GPO settings you can put in place to help with this problem, as others have mentioned.

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: disconnecting remote TS session on DC

I have an issue whereby I have 3 dual role File & Print Servers/DC's remaining in my org (cut down from 50+) where I can't separate these roles for another 6 months.

 

My issue is that I have Server Ops staff who connect through to these F&P DC's via Remote Desktop. They only have Server Operator privileges. I appreciate everyone's views about giving them access to the DC however, this is business rules and as we're working towards phasing this configuration out anyway, I can live with it.

 

The problem I have are that this team disconnect themselves rather than log off. So if there are 2 concurrent disconnected sessions, no-one else can logon.

 

With their Server Operator privileges, they aren't able to disconnect/log off/reset a terminal services session, they get an error. Does anyone know how I can delegate this permision to them?

 

thanks
