SYMPTOMS
When you unlock a workstation during a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client session) by providing an administrator name and password, the station is logged off and there is no new session for the administrator.



MORE INFORMATION
When you unlock a session as administrator, you are presented with a dialog that states, "This will log off the current user. Any unsaved work will be lost." If you select OK, the dialog disappears. After about one minute, the client shuts down.



RESOLUTION
This behavior is by design. When the current user is logged off, this shuts down the client.
