Managing Logons From Client Sessions
The logon management feature allows you to enables or disable logons from client sessions. The feature performs the same tasks as the change logon command-line utility.
To manage logons from client sessions:
- In the Parallels Remote Application Server Console, navigate to Farm / Site / Terminal Servers.
- Select a terminal server and click Tasks > Control.
- The Control menu item has the following submenu items:
- Enable logons — enables logons from client sessions, but not from the console. This option performs the same action as the
change logon /enable command. - Disable logons and reconnections — disables subsequent logons from client sessions, but not from the console. Does not affect currently logged on users. This option performs the same action as
change logon /disable command. - Disable logons until server reboot — disables logons from new client sessions until the computer is restarted, but allows reconnections to existing sessions. Same action as the
change logon /drainuntilrestart command.
To see the current logon control mode for a terminal server, right-click it and point to Control in the context menu. The checked-out option indicates the current logon control mode of the selected terminal server. To do this check from the command line, execute the change logon /QUERY command on the server.
Please also note the following:
- When applying a logon control mode on a server, ensure that the agent state is updated accordingly.
- You must set the logon control options for the servers one-by-one. If you need to do it for a group of servers, you can use the scheduler (see Using a Terminal Server Scheduler).
- There's no option for disabling logons from new client sessions but allowing reconnections to existing sessions (
change logon /DRAIN ) because its behavior is identical to the Disable logons until server restart option (change logon /DRAINUNTILRESTART ). - Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Remote Desktop Services / Remote Desktop Session Host / Connection / Allow users to connect remotely using remote desktop services must be set to Not configured, otherwise it takes precedence.
