It is important that you properly close out of your remote desktop session when accessing SOU's remote desktop environments so that the computing resources you were using can be made available to other people. When people forget to close their session, it causes our remote desktop environments to run more slowly for everyone, so please remember to close your session properly by utilizing either of the two, simple methods explained below.
Do NOT exit your session by selecting Disconnect from the power options or by simply quitting the RDP client running on your local device. That will only disconnect you from the session without closing it. Because it merely disconnects from the session, (not turning it off,) you can return to your session, but until you truly close your session, you will continue to use up resources on the remote server that someone else could be using.
