Remote Desktop Service - End Session

Question

Hi All,

I have a CAL license maintained by Windows RDS server, i am able to connect remotely as per the license. I need help on below

If I disconnect any session, i am unable to login. So i need to use another account to end the disconnected session under Task manager every time

Is there any settings which restore the last session in RDS without reloading all the configuration and ending the session everytime. Appreciate your support

Hi @karthik palani

To work around this issue, you can enable the Configure keep-alive connection interval policy in the Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Connections group policy folder. If you enable this policy, you must enter a keep-alive interval. The keep-alive interval determines how often, in minutes, the server checks the session state.

This issue can also be fixed by reconfiguring your authentication and configuration settings. You can reconfigure these settings at either the server level or by using group policy objects (GPOs). Here's how to reconfigure your settings: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Security group policy folder.

1. On the RD Session Host server, open Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration.
2. Under Connections, right-click the name of the connection, then select Properties.
3. In the Properties dialog box for the connection, on the General tab, in Security layer, select a security method.
4. Go to Encryption level and select the level you want. You can select Low, Client Compatible, High, or FIPS Compliant.
