I have an NT 4.0 network. A PDC and one BDC.
The PDC keeps holding sessions open after users disconnect (they either shutdown without logging off properly or they use Terminal Server and disconnect their session)
These sessions left open prevent new users logging in from accessing the NetLogon Share and thus getting thier policy and drive mappings. Any idea why the PDC isn't dropping these users? Some are connected and idle for over 500 minutes

Check M$ technet article q120642 for the configurable network settings...you may want to check the KeepAliveTime setting first.

Hi!, you have in User manager for domains, an option inside policies/accounts, that enable a checkbox that force disconnect remote users from server when logon hours expire, this could help you for that. By other side, In novell exist a set that calls Watchdog, maybe something similar for nt.
