SYMPTOMS
========
When you try to log on to a Terminal Server client session, you may receive the
following error message:
Terminal Service Client Disconnected
The connection to the server has timed out. Try connecting to the terminal
server again.
When this issue occurs, you see a computer with a state of "Down" on the Sessions
tab in the Terminal Server Administration tool on the server.
CAUSE
=====
This behavior can occur if there is a mapped network drive letter as the first
entry in the PATH environment variable. For example, this behavior can occur if
a network drive is mapped as drive X, and the PATH statement is:
PATH=x:\<sharename>;c:\winnt;...
WORKAROUND
==========
Change the PATH variable so that the mapped network drive letter is not the
first entry.
STATUS
