SYMPTOMS
When you try to log on to a Terminal Server client session, you may receive the following error message:

Terminal Service Client Disconnected

The connection to the server has timed out. Try connecting to the terminal server again.

When this issue occurs, you see a computer with a state of &quot;Down&quot; on the Sessions tab in the Terminal Server Administration tool on the server.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if there is a mapped network drive letter as the first entry in the PATH environment variable. For example, this behavior can occur if a network drive is mapped as drive X, and the PATH statement is:

PATH=x:\ ;c:\winnt;...



WORKAROUND
Change the PATH variable so that the mapped network drive letter is not the first entry.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
