This post will show you how to manage terminal server session limits.

If you have many disconnected sessions on your Windows server 2003  and other users are complaining about this mess it is time to make some terminal server configurations.

Login to Windows server 2003 and navigate to Administrative Tools > Terminal Services Configuration.

There click on “RDP-Tcp” and select Sessions tab.

Terminal services configuration

Terminal services sessions tab

Ok, here we can change session time outs and override user terminal session settings that are configured (or not) to each user manually in active directory.

In most cases i use following settings on my Windows servers:

End a disconnected session:  1 hour

Active session limit: Never

Idle session limit: 2 hours

When session limit is reached or connection is broken: Disconnect from session
