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. |

When a Remote Desktop user uses the /admin or
/console option to start a Remote Desktop session with a Windows™ Server 2003 system and an BigFix® Remote
Control user starts a
remote control session before, during or after the 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 BigFix® 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.

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.

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.
