Reconnecting - same user name - multiple machines
Reconnecting - same user name - multiple machines
We are using the same login to our remote app. We login from multiple location in the same building at the same time. If there is a building wide internet outage we notice that machines may not get their specific session back. How can we ensure they get the same session?

Hello,
In the AdminTool, click on the Server tile and click on "Group Policies (GPO)"
Check the "Allow users reconnection when sessions are disconnected."
Check also the "Allow automatic reconnections when a session is disconnected."
You can also set up a timeout for disconnected sessions which will cause a disconnected user session to automatically logoff after a while.
If you want your disconnected sessions to terminate quickly, type in 0.5 for 30 sec. Enter 0 if you want your remote sessions to never end.
If your server is the member of a domain, this strategy may need to be set directly on the domain controller.
Open your domain strategy object editor (gpedit.msc) and locate the following strategy :
Computer configuration / Administrative Template / Windows components / Remote Desktop Services / Remote Desktop Session Host / Session time limit /
You can also make sure your domain controller do not prevent local strategies to be executed. This strategy needs to be disabled and is located in :
Computer configuration / Policies / Administrative Template / System / Group Policy / Turn off Local Group Policy objects processing.
Either solution should work, choose the one that fits your preference.

Re: Reconnecting - same user name - multiple machines
Is there a way to "User must Reconnect from the Same Device" when the same user logs in from multiple devices?
Re: Reconnecting - same user name - multiple machines
Hello,
For these specific options, TSplus AdminTool is just setting the Windows GPOs registries.
If you have set:
- Allow multipl sessions per users
- The disconnected session remains during 10 minutes
- Users will have to reconnect from the same device
I think that Windows will check the device and the user for each request for re-connection.
If it fits, it will allow it.
That would make sense, but I cannot be 100% sure because this is Windows decision to do so (not TSplus one).
Kind regards
John
