Teamviewer 13 goes offline when computer locks

I have been running Team Viewer 10 on a Windows Server 2012 box for several years without interuption. Recently, due to changing to the subscription model, I updated to 2013 and set my new TeamViewer account. When I connect via RDP, I can bring up Teamviewer and log in and my server is visible everywhere. When I logout of RDP (close the session), TeamViewer immediately goes offline. There was NO problem with the previous version I had installed. TeamViewer is running as a service alread on this server.

Why does locking the Windows 2012 server cause teamviewer to go offline and how do I resolve this?

Hi @DLS

Can you confirm you are connecting with the server ID and not the individual user ID?

See our Knowledge base article on Server ID's here.

That was it. Thank you. Now it it perfectly clear. I could access when using the server ID which I have now bookmarked
