• [2016std] save and restore RDP connections

    From Ammammata@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 29 13:46:44 2021
    I'd like to schedule a weekly server reboot, i.e. on sunday morning

    since there are always remote users sessions active, even if
    "disconnected", with programs running and sometimes documents started but
    not saved, I wonder whether there is the option to save all the RDP
    statuses, reboot and restore, or this is not possible

    While there's no
    built-in feature in Windows Server 2016 to save and restore RDP
    sessions directly, there are workarounds. User Profile Disks allow
    profiles to be stored on a network share, which helps preserve user
    settings and data across reboots, but it doesn't save the exact state
    of open applications.

    You could also use a PowerShell script to automate the reboot process
    and handle user sessions. Some scripts log off users gracefully before rebooting the server. For instance, you could use a script to stop the computer, wait a bit, and then restart it. Scheduling this script
    using Task Scheduler to run during off-hours is another option.
