[THIN] Hotfix: A terminal server that is running Windows Server 2003 stops responding during the shutdown process if a remote console session is established on the server

Consider the following scenario:

·         You establish a remote console session on a terminal server that
is running Windows Server 2003.

*Note* To establish a remote console session, run the *mstsc /console*command.

·         An application calls some APIs to perform an automated shutdown on
the terminal server.

*Note* Automated shutdown means that you log off all terminal sessions
before you shut down the server.

In this scenario, the shutdown process stops responding. Additionally, you
have to force shutdown the terminal server to recover from this issue.

This problem occurs if a user performs a console logon to the server before
the automated shutdown is called.
