Automatically log off on session start

Hi Guys,

We are using a business license for teamviewer.
Most of the times when I login to a remote computer, the user logged on will be automatically logged of. 

I don't know if this is a setting, or some error.

Please help!

Thanks, Hans

    Do you mean logged-off, or machine-locked ?  As in ... during a TeamViewer session, if you bring down the top pane of buttons, and go actions > lock > there is an option called "lock on session end", which is enabled by default.

    This is obviously a security setting that works great on servers, but it can prove irritating to end-users because, if you are remote-accessing a colleague's workstation to fix a problem they are having, for them to have to unlock their terminal after you have finished your remote-access session is just ... unnecessary.

    The good news is that you can uncheck this box on a per-workstation basis, and TeamViewer will remember the setting being on/off for that given workstation the next time you access it.

    In this way you can enabled it for servers, and disable it for client workstations.

    Hope that helps =]

  • Hi Raven,

    Thank you for your reply. I actually mean locks the computer.
    When I start a remote session, the computer automatically locks. Not just once, even when the user logs in again, and I move my mouse again, the computer locks again. 

    Unfortunately this is not just with one computer, this is with most of them. 
    On client computers, I run TV12 host, while on my computer the full version is installed.

    So ... again, sorry, just to clarify ... is this :-

    A) You remote a PC and you're ok, then you close your connection, re-connect and find it has locked; or

    B) You remote a PC and find it has locked literally as soon as you have taken remote control, and the end-user confirms that the machine was not locked before you arrived ?

    Because if it's B ?  Then that is really really weird ...

  • Hi Raven,

    No problem, ask me anything you want. You are helping me, not the other way around ;).

    It's actually B, I can see it unlocked when I log in, and it immediately locks as soon as I want to do something on the remote machine. When the user logs back in, and I try to do something on the remote machine again, it locks immediately again.

    I agree, it's really really weird... And I would add annoying to that ;).
