Logoff an RDP session to a Windows 2003 server restarts services

  • 772

I have a weird issue that if I RDP into a Windows 2003 server, and then logoff (not reboot or restart) that the application services are being restarted.

I do use the /admin flag when I launch RDP if it matters.

EDIT - It seems it only happens with the /Admin flag.

I have no idea what is going on, but we have critical applications on this server, and I find I cannot logon to troubleshoot during they day because as soon as I logoff the application restarts.

Has anyone see something like this before?

windows-server-2003 login rdp

  1. /admin opens the 'Console Session". That is, it opens the local session as opposed to a RDP session. If your Java app is started with the same account, then as you log out it may be closing the associated processes for you Java app too.

    Try creating a different admin account specifically to launch your service. Remember to specify the new account in your service start up.

  2. I've seen strange things with RDP. You might try disabling Remote Desktop rebooting and reenabling it to see if that does anything.
