Persistent RDP Connection to Terminal Server 1

[kendaukcat]

I have a client who is running Windows 2003 Terminal Server SP2.

They have mobile users that need to have persistent RDP sessions to the Terminal Server. At no time (well, except during initial boot) should these users be prompted for a log on to the server.

Is there a way to do this?

I have scoured through Terminal Server Configuration, Domain Policies, and Active Directory and have not been able to find a setting that prevents the server from logging them out for idle activity.

I know this is an odd request, but the client essentially wants the rdp session to work as a terminal emulator, without needing to log on to the server.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ken

Anyone have

This is for forcing an idle disconnect in terminal services. Try the opposite for keeping the session alive.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!

I went there after submitting the question and did the following:

Selected Override user settings
Set End a disconnected session to 2 days
Set Active session limit to 2 days
Set Idle session limit to 2 days

Selected Override user settings
When session limit is reached or connection is broken selceted end session.

Thanks again for the help...if you see an obvious problem with what I did, let me know, please.
