Logging Off

All users are requested to log off properly. When we say proper, all users must go through the normal procedure:

  1. Click on Start
  2. Click on Log Off
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
When a user logs off, the session and other server resources are closed and released back to the server. The virtual printer that is created for that specific user is also deleted from the printer list, does minimizing printing error problems.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A USER DON'T LOG OFF?
When a user disconnects from a session, by just closing his/her remote desktop application. All applications that he/she is using are still up and running and are still using server resources. And with this Virtual Printer that is created for you stays in the printer list. This is not a good practice.

Disconnected Sessions are automatically ended after 10 to 15 minutes.

Idle Sessions are also automatically ended after 30 minutes.
