  1. Session timeouts? 2003

    Hi World,

    I have 2 servers, both Windows 2003. One is the terminal server and the
    other the file and print server.

    What I am noticing is that if a user disconnects from TS while he/she has
    open files the open files don't close on the file server even though the TS
    session has disconnected.

    An example: looking at Shared Folders>Sessions there is a user with 2 file
    locks that have a session time of 5 days and an idle time of 4 days and 10
    hours.

    How can I get these sessions to disconnect automatically?

    Regards,
    Dean

    Don't know exactly, however we have just discovered this feature
    of w2k ts & higher. There *is* a setting which will force
    disconnected sessions to shutdown after a set period. This has
    come in handy a couple of times when a w/s has crashed or been
    powered off unexpectedly. The user can reconnect to their session
    and find everything as they left it.

    Sorry for no exact answer, fortunately I don't admin our ts's :-)
