Reset vs. Logoff in Terminal Server Administration Program

ID: Q190158


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition


SUMMARY

An administrator has the option to either reset or logoff existing Terminal Server sessions. The differences between these options are:

  1. Logging off from a session will tell the session to log off normally. Applications will be closed. The user profile will be written. Application data could be lost, however.


  2. Resetting a session frees it immediately. You lose all user profile changes. Applications are not terminated gracefully, and you lose data.
