A remote desktop session may experience a long delay when you try to log off an Advanced Client computer (831962)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003

SYMPTOMS

After you install the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Advanced Client software on a Terminal Server computer, it may take several minutes for you to log off a Terminal Services session on the Advanced Client computer. Additionally, changes to your profile may not be saved.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if another user tries to log on to a Terminal Server session while you are trying to log off a Terminal Server session. In this scenario, logoff notifications are completed synchronously. For example, if User A tries to log off a session when User B tries to log on to a new session, the logoff is blocked until the logon is completed. The logon may be delayed to process logon scripts.

Additionally, the problem may occur if the following conditions are true:
  • No users are logged on to the Advanced Client computer local console.
  • A user tries to log off a Terminal Services session on that Advanced Client computer.

    Note This condition does not require that either of the users be a specific user. Any user who logs on through a Terminal Services sessions will experience this problem as long as no one is logged on to the local console.
