Configure Timeout and Reconnection Settings

By default, Remote Desktop Services allows you to disconnect from a remote session without logging off and ending the session. When a session is in a disconnected state, running programs are kept active even though you are no longer actively connected.

You can limit the amount of time that active, disconnected, and idle (without user input) sessions remain on the server. This is useful because sessions that remain running indefinitely on the RD Session Host server continue to consume system resources.

Configuring timeout and reconnection settings on a per connection basis affects all sessions that use the connection.

You can configure timeout and reconnection settings on a per user basis by using the Remote Desktop Services Extension to the Local Users and Groups snap-in or to the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in.

Timeout and reconnection settings configured by using Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration will take precedence over timeout and reconnection settings that have been configured for a specific user account.

You can configure the following timeout and reconnection settings in Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration.

Some settings that you can change

To specify the timeout and reconnection settings for a remote session. 

These are just recommendations--please set them as appropriate to your environment

2. Click the Active session limit dropdown menu and change the value to Never.

   
   

3. Click the Idle session limit dropdown menu and change the value to Never.

   
   

4. Select the Disconnect from the session radio button.

   
   

5. Select the Enable automatic reconnection check box.

   
   

6. Select the Delete temporary folders on exit check box.

   
   

7. Select the Use temporary folders per session check box.

   
   

8. Click Apply.

   ** Changes to timeout and reconnection settings are not applied to sessions that are connected when the change is made. The changes will take effect the next time you establish a new connection to the RD Session Host server.

   
   

9. Select Security in the left panel.

   
   

   

   
   

   NOTE: While TLS 1.0 may display, TLS 1.2 will be used for security. For more information, refer to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3097192/incorrect-tls-is-displayed-when-you-use- rdp-with-ssl-encryption.

   
   

10. Ensure the Allow connections check box is selected.

    
    

11. Click OK or Apply to save the changes.

    
    

12. Repeat steps 1-11 for each collection you have created.
