I am trying to terminal serve into a Windows 2003 Storage Server.

Problem is, i am trying to run a batch file to copy a terabyte of files, and terminal services remains idle too long, and logs me out. Where are the settings to change that? When i reconnect, my session is no longer active, and my batch file has stopped running.



Thanks,
Andrew
 
Couple of ways this could be set to log you off after a certain amount of idle time. First, open the Terminal Services Configuration snapin, click on the connections folder then right click and click properties on the RDP-Tcp connector, look in the Sessions tab. Or this can also be done with GP, do a gpresult from a command line and see what GP's are being applied to you and the TS then figure out which one has the policy set. Look in the User Config -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Terminal Services -> Sessions.

Why do you need to use TS for this.. Can't you map a drive to the storage server from your desktop and run a robocopy command to copy the files?
