Default is 5000. The property has no maximum value. The
higher the iteration count, the longer it takes for someone to try to
break the password. However, the larger the iteration count, the slower
it is to log on to the server or to change your password. A higher
iteration count slows the system down. Therefore you must set it to a
value that is acceptable to your environment and maintains acceptable
performance. |

Remote Desktop session, remote control is unable to capture the display.
The result is that a gray screen is displayed in the controller. This
issue is a limitation in Windows™ Server 2003. Therefore, this property provides a
workaround that will reset the Windows™ session either after each Remote Desktop session ends,
or before an Remote Control session starts, depending on the value selected.
- 0
- The workaround is disabled. This value is the default
value.
- 1
- Reset the session automatically when a remote control
session is started.
Note: The Windows™ sessions take a
couple of minutes to initialize and a blank desktop is
displayed on the controller until the initialization is
complete. A message is displayed to inform the
controller user that the session is being reset and it
might take a few minutes.
- 2
- Reset the session automatically when the Remote Desktop user
logs out.
Note:
- The value set for this property applies to all targets that
are registered with the server. You can set an attribute for
a target group to limit the action to selected targets. For
more information about the attribute, see Creating target groups. If the
server property has a different value to the target group
attribute, the target group value takes precedence for those
targets who are members of the specific target group.
- If a Remote Desktop session (admin or console) is in
progress when the controller attempts to connect to a
target, a message is displayed to the controller. The
message provides details of the Remote Desktop user and the
IP address and computer name that the session is running
from.
