Hi, <br />
<br />
A customer of ours uses remote desktop to connect to it's SBS 2003 server. &nbsp;He does this so he can use an application we developed for him. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The problem is the following: &nbsp;He's got the username and password saved in an RDP file, so connecting to the SBS 2003 server is easy. &nbsp;After a while, however, the session goes idle (which is standard behavior) and he's prompted to &quot;press ctrl + alt + del&quot; and asked to provide his username and password. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I know this is a stupid idea, but... Is there something we can do so his session never goes idle, no matter how long he's inactive in the session? &nbsp;

Hi, 

A customer of ours uses remote desktop to connect to it's SBS 2003 server.  He does this so he can use an application we developed for him.

After a while, however, the session goes idle (which is standard behavior) and he's prompted to "press ctrl + alt + del" and asked to provide his username and password.

How do we disable prompt for a password in terminal server session?

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
