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 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
Sometimes you can encounter situation when you try to connect to Terminal server using RDP with Printer redirection enabled but printer doesn`t show in Terminal session. This problem occurs with printer port names that do not begin with COM, USB or LPT. How to deal with that? In that case you must add registry setting to redirect all printer ports. To do that open registry on your Windows XP machine and navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default\AddIns\RDPDR
On the Edit menu select New and then DWORD value. Type FilterQueueType and press Enter. On new value right click and select modify. Type FFFFFFFF and click OK. This will enable all ports to be redirected.
That all!
