Connecting to already active Session

Hello One and All,

I have noticed that if a user has leaved a session active, and then goes idle for a long time.
the next user that logs in gets re-directed to that same session.

Then Windows XP gives the following message:
The user [USERNAME] is currently logged onto this computer. Only the current user or an admin can log on to this computer.

How can i tell the load balancer or the appropiate application not to connect to an already active session..

Thanks

 

In order for reconnection to work you need to follow those rules:
1. Enable reconnection in 2X Console
2. Enable "Limit user to one session" option both in 2X Console and in Terminal Services Configuration.
3. Pass username prior to connection (specify it in Options of MS RDP client)
4. Only the first 9 characters are significant for reconnection if you do not use the 2x Client.

 

1. under which tab do i find the "reconnection"
2. ON the 2x Console, in the Load Balance Tab, this is disable and greyed out, i have no option to change it; also
re-connect to disconnect session is enable, but also greyed out
Terminals Services Config: would this be on the Windows 2003 server where the 2x console is installed, as on the
Windows XP desktop this option does not exist.
3. Can you please be a little more specific, as i'm using the 2x Client to connect to the Vitural XP Desktops, and as far
as i know in the RDP client, i can only change options for a specific conneciton.
4. I have no clue what you mean, can you be a little more specific

I should have mentioned this before
I'm using the free version of 2x virtual desktop v 7.3 build 7.43, and 2x client v7.3 build 727

thanks for the prompt response

you need to go in 2x client-->connection properties-->advanced settings-->reconnect if connection is dropped(checked)

also try to upgrade you client to 2x Client v7.3.753 (availabile at http://www.2x.com/downloads/AppServer-L ... Client.msi)

 

Hi,
I also suffered from the quiet similar problem. While I was doing my work through the active connection, Suddendly my computer restarted as there was a blue screen on my computer screen and it restarted. Then I tried to log in, but showed that the connection was already active and only administrator can login. I consulted one of my friend. he told that Someone may have logged in your account through another coumputer. I mean it may have been hacked. How do I gain the access back.

 

Hi,

Have you tried to play around with the settings at pg 103 in the manual?
Manual available from http://www.2x.com/downloads/vds/2XVDS-Manual.pdf

 

Hi,

check the Power Options in the control panel on the Virtual Machine. Configure the machine to stay always ON.

You can also set a limit for idle sessions, trough Local Policies/GPO.

The problem could be that the machine is going into hibernate/suspend mode with the user logged in. The VDI will then find it already logged in when it switch it on.

Hope this helps.
