Ray -
There are several ways that TS may react to what the list has been
talking about. I haven't used TS on Win2k in a couple of years - but
I've been managing TS on Win2003 for a little while now. I'm going to
assume that the way TS is configured on my Win2003 is similar to yours.
If you go to "Terminal Services Configuration", and open the properties
of the connection listener (likely "RDP-Tcp"), there are different
settings that you can manipulate to control how TS reacts to different
situations. You can control Idle Session Limits, Active Session Limits,
and Disconnected Session Limits (timeout before logoff).
Also, if you go to Server Management (under Terminal Services
Configuration), there is an option to restrict each user to one session.
Let me know if you have any more questions about TS :)
Drew

Actually Ray what you are doing will work you are just missing a small
piece. The TS doesn't allow someone to stay in the state of DISC
(disconnect) forever, but you can change that. I don't know off the top
of my head where in the registry it is (I think you can change it
outside of the registry) all you need to do is crank that setting way
up, or try setting it to 0 and see what happens.

Thank you Dan. I'm not sure what I've witnessed. I think what has
caused me confusion is that when I have TS session going on a server in
admin mode, I'll often close the session without logging off, and I'll
~want~ to be able to log back into the same session. Sometimes I do,
and sometimes I don't. But, if I understand what you wrote, I think
this may be because I sometimes use RDP and sometimes use ICA.
What prompted this is I got one of my TiVo Series 2's setup on my home
network, and in order for the music streaming to work, the TiVo app on a
computer onthe network has to be running. This does NOT run as a
service, so someone needs to be logged on to the machine. Since my XP
machine blue screens when my TiVo tries to access files from it, I setup
a W2K Server and installed the TiVo app on it. I figured I could log in
to a TS session, start the TiVo app, disconnect, and just let that
session run forever and serve my mp3s. It's not working out too well,
but I don't care. I don't want it setup that way. I'm going to get an
old computer with W2K Pro and just let it sit down in the basement
serving mp3s or something.
