I think they used Windows Server Multiserver or something similar.

You can setup the session timeout for this.

2022-08-19T13:16:06.757+00:00 We don't need a session time limit.
We need:
When a user logs out, normally the Remote Desktop session ends. We need it to automatically restart the connection back to the login screen for the remote desktop
Dave Patrick 341K Reputation points MVP2022-08-19T13:22:18.443+00:00 Yes, this sounds like default behavior.

Dave Patrick 341K Reputation points MVP2022-08-19T13:34:04.417+00:00 Ok, gotcha. As far as I know there's no way to do that without a console session, like you get when you connect via hyper-v management.

Is there anyway to ask MS themselves?

Yes, in the days of 2003 (and older) we used to be able to connect to session 0 (console session) via remote.
mstsc -v: servername /F -consoleIs there anyway to ask MS themselves?
Yes absolutely. You can reach them here.

Ok, what problems are you trying to solve here? What operating system is used?
They're using Windows Server 2019 (soon to be upgraded to 2022) and Windows 10 on the desktops.
They want to have the system automatically reconnect to a new logon screen (where the user enters username and password) on the remote desktop every time someone disconnects or logs out.
