How to Temporarily Disable Terminal Server Client Logons
Can't I stop and restart the Terminal Services

Symptom: When you attempt to start, stop, pause, resume, or restart Terminal Services in the Computer Management snap-in, all options are unavailable. When you attempt to manipulate Terminal Services from a command prompt by using the net command, you receive the following error message: The requested pause or stop is not valid for this service.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2191.

Status: This behavior is by design.

Resolutions: If you need to disable connectivity to the Terminal Server, you have several options. Note that disabling connectivity for Terminal Server Clients is different from disabling normal user connectivity. For non-client connectivity you can pause or stop the Net Logon or Server services in Control Panel/Services. However, the Terminal Server service cannot be paused, stopped, or disabled.

To disable Client connectivity, you can:

  1. Stop connectivity to the Terminal Server at the command prompt with the Command, "Change Logon /Disable." You can re-enable connectivity with "Change Logon /Enable."
  2. Stop connectivity to a specific socket connection in Terminal Server Connection Configuration under Connection/Disable. This is the same action as opening the connection and selecting Logon/Disabled under the Advanced Configuration.
  3. Stop connectivity for a user or group to a specific socket connection in Terminal Server Connection Configuration under Security/Permissions.
  4. Stop connectivity for a specific user in User Manager by opening the user account and selecting CONFIG. Here you can uncheck the box, "Allow Logon to Terminal Server." If you modify the user's domain account, the user will not be able to connect to the domain from ANY Terminal Server. The other options are specific to the Terminal Server on which they are set.
