Problem:

How can I prevent or terminate disconnected WOW Thin Client Server process?

Resolution:

Use the Server configuration option under the [ServerConfig] section of the Server rpcplus.ini file: InactiveLimit

This option specifies the maximum amount of time a server will wait for an already connected client to make another remote program call.

Also, try UseKeepAlive, also in the [ServerConfig] section of the Server rpcplus.ini file. This option checks for connection terminations at the TCP/IP level. For it to work, the TCP/IP parameters KeepAliveTime and KeepAliveInterval must be set in the Windows system registry or the UNIX/Linux kernel.

The Windows default is 2 hours. If you want to set a shorter time period, use regedit and go to:

HKLM\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\Tcpip\\Parameters

Add two DWORD Parameters named "KeepAliveTime" and "KeepAliveInterval". The values depend on what time you'd like.

For example: if you use 600000 (ms) = 10 minutes for KeepAliveTime and 60000 ms for KeepAliveInterval, it will cause the server to start checking the connection after 10 minutes and then every minute after that.
