Windows 7 Windows 7 RDP to WIn 2003

[LukeIrvine]

Is there any Know issues with the Windows 7 version of RDP. I was connected to a windows 2003 and logged off the server by typing logoff in run.

I was logged off but the server then proceeded to restart.

Any one see this issue before?

Actually I was looking for a way to restart the server from RDP - maybe you've just answered the question for me.

Why did you type logoff via RUN. Surely just logoff via the Menu (or even just disconnect your RDP session of you don't want to logoff - for example you might have some jobs running but don't want to stay remotely connected.).

Actually I didn't even know you could type LOGOFF from the run command . -- We learn something every day.

Hi Jimbo let me answer your question above. The resason the i logged of the server via the run command is a precuation against the mistake of hitting the restart or shutdown instead. I'm people remember doing that it some stage.

Also the reason the i logoff instaed of disconnecting is that on occasion a disconnected session can get its self in a muddle and prevent you from connecting again. You would have to kill the session via TS admin.

You can restart a server in a RDP session be using the shutdown -r command in run or cmd. You can restart a server remotly by using this command SHUTDOWN -r /m \\Computer
