SUMMARY
When you log off from a Windows Remote Access Service (RAS)
client, any RAS connections will be disconnected automatically. To remain
connected after logging off, you may enable the KeepRasConnections key in
the registry on the RAS client.
Note: This behavior is different from versions of Windows NT RAS earlier than Windows NT 4.0; earlier version of Windows NT remain connected when logging off from the local computer.
