Re: Terminal Session Closes After Logon



So you do use an Nvidia driver on the server?
Either update the driver, or disable the 'helper' NVIDIA service
(nvsvc32.exe listed in the Task Manager)

840655 - You are logged off a Remote Desktop session when you have
an NVIDIA video card installed in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=840655

If this doesn't solve the problem, is there anything in the
EventLog on the server when users are logged off?
Since it doesn't happen to Administrators, it could also be caused
by a permission problem (too tight security settings on the root
drive).
If you want to investigate this, download FileMon and RegMon from
http://www.sysinternals.com/. Run them as administrator (when no
user is connected) and start a TS session as a normal user.

FileMon and RegMon will show you all "access denied" errors that
occur, so that you can give your users the necessary permissions on
a file-to file or Registry subkey basis.
