Preventing Voluntary Disconnects

I have some users who dissconnect and leave HUGE processes
running which is max'g out the cpu. I can't just log them
off because that would result in a dirty database. Is
there a practical way to force them to log off instead of
x'ing out and leving things running?

If you go to Terminal Services Configuration, you can alter the properties
of the RDP-Tcp connection:
- On the "Sessions" tab, select the checkbox for "Override users
settings" and set the option to "End a disconnected session" for the
required time after a session disconnect

Thanks for the reply Jason!

The thorny thing is that when they disconnect and then the
session times out and is ended the database everyone is
using gets corrupted. I'm hoping to pervent them from
manually disconnecting. Of course there is nothing I can
do if they just flame off the pc or dissconnect the
network session.

Oh.... I see what you're saying.
I think that your only bet then is to get control of their session and
logoff of it manually:

Session....
