    Look at the group policies on the machine to make sure they are not configured to disconnect/log off
    RD sessions after a certain amount of time. Go to "Start -> Run" and type gpedit.msc at the command
    line. Navigate to the "Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative
    Templates -> Windows Components -> Terminal Services -> Sessions". They should be in the "Not
    configured" state, ie. the default. Do this on the RDP host.
