From this article I am trying to understand that you can enable the Keep Alive on the client side also is that correct? Can you set the Keep Alive Interval and other settings on the client side through the GROUP POLICY.
Next, when it says REMOTE DESKTOP HOST in the group policy, does this mean both on the client side and the server side or just the SERVER site since people can misunderstand Host being the host server hosting the terminal services.
After Remote Desktop client loses its connection to the remote desktop, the client can't immediately reconnect. The user receives one of the following error messages:
- The client couldn't connect to the terminal server because of a security error. Make sure you are signed in to the network, then try connecting again.
- Remote Desktop disconnected. Because of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer. Verify that you are logged onto the network and then try connecting again.
When the Remote Desktop client reconnects, the RDSH server reconnects the client to a new session instead of the original session. However, when you check the RDSH server, it says that the original session is still active and didn't enter a disconnected state.
To work around this issue, you can enable the Configure keep-alive connection interval policy in the Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Connections group policy folder. If you enable this policy, you must enter a keep-alive interval. The keep-alive interval determines how often, in minutes, the server checks the session state.
