Q. My session doesn't logoff when I quit my starting or published
application
A. If you define a Starting application, either in Terminal
Services Configuration, a GPO or in your RDP client, your session
should be automatically logged off when you quit the application.
Sometimes, this doesn't happen and you are left with a session
which only shows the desktop background, without the possibility to
log off the session manually. The cause for this problem is a
process which is still running in your session, preventing it from
closing and logging off. The same can happen after quitting a
Citrix published application.
To solve the problem, open a second connection to the Terminal
Server and check in Task manager which process is keeping the
session from closing. Some anti-virus applications are known to
cause this behaviour.
If you can't avoid running the process, you can use a work-around
to log off your session.
Create a batch file, containing something like this:
cd <path_to_the_folder_containing_your_application>
start /wait <application_executable>
logoff
Now define this batch file as the starting application.
Or use the following vb script to launch your application, and
define the vb script as the starting application.
Dim objWshShell, objExec, strAppExe
strAppExe = "<path_to_the_folder_containing_your_application>
\<application_executable>"
Set objWshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objExec = objWshShell.Exec(strAppExe)
Do While objExec.Status = 0
WScript.Sleep 500
Loop
Set objExec = objWshSHell.Exec("logoff")
For a different solution to the problem, and a list of known
processes which cause this behaviour, check:
