Keep RDP Session Alive After Disconnect


Maybe there is a better way. Here is what I want to do. I connect and download quotes all day and night using Web Server / Browser Based Application and SQL Database. How can I move this session to my web server so I do not have to use local resources to manage this process? When I connect to my Web Server using RDP, it will, of course, log me off all applications (including web browser) when I exit. Thank for help and advice. Craig


Solution

  • With RDP you should not be logged off. The session should remain even if you close RDP. But if you want to perform automatic repetitive tasks on a server, you should look into cron jobs, services or daemons, instead of relying on a user session with a running application.
