On a Window Server 2008 R2 machine I am having a problem with a particular remote desktop connection. I experienced a slow log-off last night (windows in the RDP session was showing "logging off") so I closed the RDP client. This morning when I tried to remote into this server it took me directly to the "logging off" screen, so overnight the server never successfully logged off of that session.
Another user has remoted into the server via RDP and tried to disconnect, reset and manually log-off my session from Remote Desktop Manager but still upon login, I'm taken back to the "logging off" page.
Any suggestions on how to free up this session or resolve this issue without a reboot would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! Nate

We applied this hot fix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979530 to the server and restarted and haven't seen the problem since. We don't think it was necessarily caused by the issue this hot fix resolves since we only have 1 to 2 users RDPing into this server at a time. Perhaps this may help some of you out there.
