Restarting the Connection Server

[IP2008]

A bit of a basic question but I was told by a VMware guy that restarting our connection server would not affect any existing connections but only new ones. As a test I tried it and all existing connections were lost! Have I missed a setting or have I been given wrong information? We're using View 4.5.

Thanks in advance

This is the normal behaviour for the View connection server. This KB article states as much...

No two ways around that as far as i know...

It depends...

If you are using tunneled connections then yes, no way around it.

If you are using direct connections (no tunneling) a graceful shutdown will actually take the connections down, however a non-graceful shutdown (kill the service, power failure etc) will leave the connections active.
