Hi

We have 2003 TS with 70 users. All access a single
application. I have configured TS so instead of
disconnecting a closed session it resets it to save
resources. This works for users who close the
application or when the idle timeout is reached. But for
those who simply disconnect the session there is still a
minimum 1 min wait before the session is reset. This is
causing problems as users move about from machine to
machine sometimes it is less than a min between these
accesses and I need to know if it is possible to change
the disconnection time to less than 1 min.

I presume there is a reg key which stores the time in
miliseconds and it may be possible mod that setting to
reset disconnected sessions in 1 sec or less.

Any advice gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

Phil.
