You can use "End a Disconnected Session" setting in Terminal Server
Configuration Tool (tscc.msc) to log off any disconnected session after a
specified time.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get one of their remote users to properly
logoff from their Terminal Server session at the end of the day.  They are
simply disconnecting which leaves the database file open and ntbackup skips
it.
