Question : Force Logoff on disconect from Terminal Services

We have a Windows 2003 R2 Server with Terminal Services, which runs a finnantial application. Users log on to the Termimnal server, and are instructed to logout normally, but as always there are users thet instead of logging off, they just disconect the session, leaving the finantial application open. At midnight, services for the finantial aplication are shut down in order to backup the database. When users return next day to their disconected terminal services session, the financial application (WHICH REMAINED OPEN)  fails.

What i need is basically a way to force a session logoff even if the user is just disconecting, and/or to establish a timeout for a given session after disconect after which the session wil be shut down automatically

Answer : Force Logoff on disconect from Terminal Services

You can set session limits in numerous places. I would suggest setting idle or disconnected sessions to logoff after a specific period of time. The locations you can chose to set this are:
1)      Domain group policy Computer configuration | Administrative templates | Windows components | Terminal Services | Sessions |....
2)      Domain group policy User configuration | Administrative templates | Windows components | Terminal Services | Sessions |....
3)      Local computer policy Computer configuration | Administrative templates | Windows components | Terminal Services | Sessions |....
4)      Local computer policy User configuration | Administrative templates | Windows components | Terminal Services | Sessions |....
5)      Users profile in Active Directory. See: Active Directory Users and Computers | User profile | Sessions
6)      If a terminal server, see also: on the terminal server, Terminal Services Configuration console | Connections | right click on RDP-Tcp in the right hand window and choose properties | Sessions |&.
