Disable Terminal Services connections

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

To disable Terminal Services connections

  1. Click the System in Control Panel.

  2. On the Remote tab, clear the Allow users to connect remotely to your computer check box, and then click OK.

    The terminal server no longer accepts new connections, but existing connections are maintained until closed by the users. This allows administrators to shut down a terminal server gradually.
