I don't want my VPS to log off disconnected sessions. It's really annoying because some programs freeze then. OS is Windows Server 2008 R2.
How do I prevent disconnected sessions from being logged off?
I have tryed pepoluan, rayan ries and Simon L answers
Sure. Make a batch file that contains the commands to launch your "Console Only" programs. At the top of that file, check the variable called SESSIONNAME. If it equals "Console," run those programs. If not, don't.
Like this:
@echo off
IF %SESSIONNAME% == Console (
echo In console, executing programs.
REM List paths to programs here prefaced by "start " so they run async.
GOTO :END
) ELSE (
REM Not in console, not executing programs.
)
:END

By default, a standalone Windows installation will not logoff disconnected RDP sessions.
So your installation must have been customized for it to be logging off disconnected RDP sessions.
Start MMC.
Load the Group Policy Object Editor snapin. It will be targeting the Local Computer.
Drill down to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Session Time Limits
Verify that the setting "Set time limit for disconnected sessions" is either Not Configured, or Enabled, but with a setting of Never.
