SUMMARY
=======

An administrator has the option to either reset or logoff existing Terminal
Server sessions. The differences between these options are:

1. Logging off from a session will tell the session to log off normally.
  Applications will be closed. The user profile will be written. Application
  data could be lost, however.

2. Resetting a session frees it immediately. You lose all user profile changes.
  Applications are not terminated gracefully, and you lose data.
