Q: Are there session time limits on Remote Desktop services?
A: Yes. The Policy is shown below
What this Means:
If a session is broken - i.e. you lose your network connection and do not reconnect for over 1 hour, the session will be terminated.
If you have an active session that exceeds 8 hours, it will be terminated. We do not allow VPN connections in excess of a business day so a session would be disconnected via vpn regardless. A similar policy already exists for virtual destops.
If you leave a session idle for over 2 hours, it will be terminated.
Q: Why do we have Session Limits in Remote Desktop services?
A: A couple of reasons - Idle and disconnected sessions can impact server resources while providing no benefit and should be limited. Also, we have a limited number or RDS licenses available. We must use session limits to ensure concurrent user licenses are available when needed and are not occupied by idle or disconnected sessions.
