This article was previously published under Q190158

SUMMARY

An administrator has the option to either reset or logoff existing Terminal Server sessions. The differences between these options are:

  1. Logging off from a session will tell the session to log off normally. Applications will be closed. The user profile will be written. Application data could be lost, however.
  2. Resetting a session frees it immediately. You lose all user profile changes. Applications are not terminated gracefully, and you lose data.
