| Not 100% sure when they use disconnect from the session in terminal services.
My book says
A disconnected session is one in which a user has exited the client software but has not logged off. The user can return to this session later as long as it is not terminated.
Are they talking about exiting the TS session interface (client software) then wouldn't you be effectively terminating the session and logging off if your not using the interface of the terminal server.
I notice when you disconnect your name is still mapped in the terminal services manager. | |

Nero what a disconnected session does is it continues the process even though you are disconnected - One way to think of it is like this - If I dial into a network from home and I use Terminal Services to start a batch program that takes several hours to run; however, I do not want the phone line connected for the next several hours. So I disconnect the session, and when I dial up hours later to check on the status, I connect to the session and view how it is doing. So, I disconnected the session instead of terminating so the session could continue to run.
I used the example of a phone line/dial-in; however the concept is the same if you are on your local LAN | |

| Ok so even if you are disconnected your still using up the resources on the terminal server. So that's why they have the option to end a disconnected session. So when you log off that is terminating the session. | |
