Remote Desktop Logs off on Disconnect

I just installed the RTM of windows 7 and used the remote desktop for the first time last night. This morning my computer was logged off and all my programs closed. I did a quick search and found
Remote Desktop Logs Off User After Disconnect

"I had similar issues when I upgraded to Windows 7. Check your active directory for user properties, under sessions make sure End a disconnected session, Active session limit, and Idle session limit are all set to never."

Sure enough my User in Active Directory at work was set to log off after 2 hours when I Disconnect.

I sure hope this solves the issue. Perhaps this was never a windows 7 issue? I think this was a server 2008 issue where the defaults are different from server 2003

I had this same issue, had nothing to do with AD settings. Steps to resolve - you will need admin rights to the machine you are RDPing to

1. Open gpedit.msc
2. Browse to Computer Configuration --> Administrative Templates --> Windows Components --> Remote Desktop Services --> Remote Desktop Session Host --> Session Time Limits.
3. Enable the "Set time limit for disconnected sessions" and set it to Never

I know this fix for me. Ensure that only the original client can reconnect, edit the following registry key: HKLM:Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services\fReconnectSame = 1

How can I disconnect from a Remote Desktop session?
To disconnect without ending your Remote Desktop session

• You can temporarily disconnect from a session by clicking the Close button on the connection bar (the horizontal bar at the top of your screen). This leaves your programs running so that, next time you connect, you can continue where you left off.
