Keep Remote Connections Active After Logging Off

When you log off from a Windows client any Remote Access Service (RAS) connections will be automatically disconnected. Enable this setting to remain connected after logging off.

Open your registry and find the key below.

Create a new String value, or modify the existing value called 'KeepRasConnections' using the settings below.

Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect.


Settings:
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
Name: KeepRasConnections
Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value: ("0" = disconnect, "1" = remain connected)


Note: This behavior is different from versions of Windows NT RAS earlier than Windows NT 4.0; earlier version of Windows NT remain connected when logging off from the local computer.
