I'm struggling with a couple of 2012R2 servers within a domain which don't have Terminal Services Role installed but certain users need to connect to them for some dev work. What happens is even with my admin account a disconnected session (Remote desktop window closed) gets logged off after 1 min. Looking through the security log I see a couple of things I don't quite get. E.g. when I leave my RD window open but idle and it gets to the logon screen I can log back on not loosing my session yet in the event log I see 4634 "An account was logged off" then 4624 "Account successfully logged on" a couple of times followed by 4800 "The workstation was locked" and 1448 "A logon was attempted using explicit credentials". After a while I see 4634 again even though I'm still looking at the screen which I don't understand.
When I close the RD window and reconnect after 1min I see 4634 (log off) with logon type 7 followed by 4634 logon type 3. Then 4779 "A session was disconnected from a Windows Station" and a minute later 4647 "User initiated logoff" hello???
I checked gpresult and I found the setting I specifically set for the above not to happen so we've got:
Admin Templates:
- Local Policy: MaxIdleTime: disabled
- Local Policy:MaxDisconnectionTime: disabled
with the above repeated for user configuration. On top of that I have the following registry set
- KeepAliveEnable: 1
- KeepAliveInterval:
Where else should I be looking?
