I have 2 remote sites which connect via Terminal Services over VPN via Sonicwall Firewalls. I keep getting messages at the remote sites (The Terminal Server has ended the session) at random intervals. The Terminal Server is set to end a session if idle for 3 hours so this points towards a connection problem. Our VPN supplier is in the process of handing the VPN to our control, is there any settings in the Sonicwall firewalls that might solve or improve this problem?
 
Use the pathping command to see if you have lost packets on the line. Pathping from the office to the remotes, a few errors are OK, if many packets are dropped adjust the MTU
on the Sonicwall, Also enable the "handle fragmented packets" parameter. Also it is a good idea to have the Sonicwall on a BBU, the power supply does not handle power fluctuation well (small power capacitors).
