Ryan, If you only enable RD through group policy, but the machines themselves are still set to Dont allow connections to this computer , when Group Policy refreshes [every 90 minutes or so], youll be disconnected from the machine.

Per //support.microsoft.com/kb/2083411 with this GP, also deploy a registry tweak to allow RD connections on the target machines. Then you wont be randomly disconnected.

I followed the instructions above and it seems to work, however after an undisclosed period of time, rdp stops working on the target machine[s]. I either wait as it does correct itself eventually OR I just restart the machine and that fixes it immediately and RDP works again. Interesting to note that just doing a gpupdate /f doesnt make RDP work again, but a restart does.

Any thoughts to why this is timing out or not refreshing properly?
