Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You deploy a Microsoft Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environment in the network.
-
You enable the Remote Desktop Virtualization Host (RD Virtualization Host) role service on the Windows Server 2008 R2-based computers.
-
You configure rollback images for all virtual machines in the VDI environment.
-
You enable the following Group Policy settings on the virtual machines in the VDI environment:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits\Set time limit for disconnected sessions
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits\Terminate session when time limits are reached -
There is only a disconnected Remote Desktop connection on a virtual machine.
In this scenario, the virtual machine is not rolled back as expected when the disconnected Remote Desktop connection is stopped by the configured Group Policy settings.
Additionally, if you run the qwinsta /vm command on the computer that hosts the virtual machine, the result indicates that the disconnected session still exists even if it is stopped.
Cause
This problem occurs because the virtual machine host incorrectly ignores the user logoff event when the logoff occurs after the disconnection. Because the virtual machine host does not process the event, the virtual machine is still kept in the disconnected state and cannot roll back.
Resolution
To resolve the problem, install the following hotfix on the affected Windows Server 2008 R2-based server that has the RD Virtualization Host role service installed.
