Hi together,
we deployed terminal services on Windows Server 2008 R2, Standard.
Terminal services licences are available more than needed. In a Group Policy in the domain we set only the parameters as follow:
Idle session limit: 5 days
Active session limits: 5 days
All other parameters are not set in the Group Policy.
The users complain that their sessions are interupted bevor the active or idle session limit is reached.
In the Event logs there is no eye-catching logs. But there are some Events which should be analyzed. I could not find any good Information about these Event IDs:
Log Name: Application Source: Microsoft-Windows-User Profiles Service Date: 06.10.2016 02:27:34 Event ID: 1530 Task Category: None Level: Warning Keywords: User: SYSTEM Computer: <TERMINAL SERVER NAME> Description: Windows detected your registry file is still in use by other applications or services.

Event ID 56 indicates a Time-out. This Event ID is monitored very rarerly during interrupts occur very often from different clients (Windows PCs, Handheld, etc.):

How can I trace all RDP sessions in DETAILS inkl. logon, logoff, Interrupts, etc.?
Is there any tool for it? I mean EXCEPT "Remote Server Services Manager".
