Re: "Do not have access to logon to this session"

So the logoff is not complete, it seems. Have you checked the
EventLog on these clients? Are there any errors or warnings, maybe
related to profile unloading?
Does this also happen when they connect from one XP client to
another inside the office? Just want to rule out the VPN connection
as a factor.

I would enable extra logging on one of these clients:

And if that doesn't solve it, maybe install UPHClean as well.

Howdy!

I have a Windows 2003 R2 domain managed via Group Policy with
something over 100 client machines as members. We've recently
implemented VPN access and the long term plan is to implement a
solid Terminal Server infrustructure. In the mean time, though,
I'm attempting to get access for folks working from
home to Remote Desktop on their Windows XP Pro SP2 machines here
at the office. I do have Windows Firewall enabled on the
clients here in the office, which is also managed via Group
Policy. I've double and triple checked policy settings (ports
for the firewall, user account flags, & the policy for Remote
desktop itself) but I must be missing something somewhere.

Here's the problem - Users (standard Domain Users in Active
Directory) can connect to the VPN, fire up Remote Desktop and
connect\logon to their machines here at the office on the first
try, no problems at all. Upon finishing up and selecting the
"Logoff" option, the Remote Desktop session on
their end closes as expected - But when any of them attempt to
reconnect to their machines via Remote Desktop again later they
get an error stating, "You
do not have access to logon to this Session". This persists
until their machine here at the office is rebooted. I enabled
the "Disconnect" option via Group Policy and they are then able
to disconnect and reconnect for a period of time - But I really
need them to log off the machines when they are
done so this is a band-aid solution at best.

Checking the process list on the machines when a user logs off
remotely shows that there are two WinLogon.exe processes running
afterward - Is this causing the Remote Desktop software to get
confused in some way? There is no
"session" I can see beyond this second instance, unless the user
uses the disconnect option - But then they can reconnect just
fine.

Any thoughts on the problem would be most welcome!
Thanks!
