TSClose is a free Windows service that monitors selected processes on a Terminal Server (or any remote desktop connection) and terminates them when a session is disconnected. It's useful if you allow users to remain disconnected for extended periods of time, and they leave a program such as Internet Explorer running. A couple of instances of iexplore.exe left open on a busy page can consume a lot of processor time.

Requirements
XP / 2003 / Vista / 2008 [R2] / Windows 7
.NET 3.5

Installation  Instructions
Download the appropriate zip and extract into a folder (eg c:\program files\TSClose)
The zip contains 2 files:
TSClose.exe - the service
TSClose.exe.config - XML configuration
Open TSClose.exe.config in a text editor and add the appropriate entries for the processes you wish to monitor.  By default the config file configures TSCLose to check every 30 seconds and close iexplore.exe after a disconnect.
Install the service (tsclose -install)
Start the service (NET START TSClose)

Usage Instructions
All configuration is handled through TSClose.exe.config (the config file has instructions and examples). Restart the service after making any changes.

Logging
All errors are written to the Windows Application Log.  When a process is terminated, the process name and user is also written to the application log.

Removal Instructions
Stop the service (NET STOP TSClose)
Uninstall the service (TSClose -uninstall)
