Symptoms
When you log off from a Windows Remote Access Service client, any Remote Access connections are disconnected automatically. If the Remote Access Service client is running an earlier version of a Windows-based operating systems, such as Windows 2000 or Windows XP, a user can enable a registry key to remain connected.For more information about how to use the KeepRasConnections registry key, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Notes

The KeepRasConnections registry key does not appear in the registry unless you add it.
