SYMPTOMS
You may notice that multiple Terminal Server sessions remain in a ConnectQuery state for 60 seconds on a Microsoft Windows 2000-based server.



CAUSE
When non-Terminal Server clients try to connect to the Terminal Server listener port, the port state remains in a ConnectQuery state for up to 60 seconds while the connection is being negotiated. A problem may occur if a program is monitoring the Terminal Server's listening port by connecting to the port and immediately disconnecting. The session is left on the Terminal Server until the time-out is reached. If the application polling interval is small enough, multiple outstanding sessions will exist in the ConnectQuery state.
