sessions

When I use standard RDP (no Remote Desktop Manager involved), I can log into a server (non-console), open a window, disconnect, and then reconnect as the same user and see what I had opened on the server.

When using Remote Desktop Manager, in both embedded and non-embedded mode, if I disconnect (not logoff) from a session, it always creates a new session. I should be getting the same session back I disconnected from, not a new session.

Is this a known issue/feature?

Hi,
It's the first time I see that. I never got this problem. Maye it's related to the domain credential. But the external view (not embedded) call mstsc.exe (standard RDP), so I don't know why it's different. I will try reproduce and investigate.

Thank you

Hi again,
Have you tried on the exact same machine ? Because I found something
here

Windows XP reuse the same session and Windows 2003 does not.

Those are BY DEFAULT what they do. Server 2003 can use the same session it just has be set in the TS policy, and that's what we have. In this case I'm using the exact same Vista x64 machine to connect to the same Server 2003 R2 SP2 server withing 5-10 seconds of disconnect.


***UPDATE*** After installing the new beta, I am finding this is fixed.
