- On the RDS session host, launch Registry Editor (regedit) as an administrator.
- In regedit, browse to
**HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM\GracePeriod**. - Within this registry key is a
REG_BINARYentry whose name begins with the string**L$RTMTIMEBOMB**. (This is likely the only entry in this key.) The default permissions on this entry do not allow it to be modified or deleted, so these permissions must be changed. - Right-click the GracePeriod folder in the left pane of regedit and select Permissions.
- In the permissions window that appears, select Administrators, and assign this group Full Control permissions. Click OK to close the window.
- If an error indicates that the permissions could not be changed, take ownership of the folder by following these steps:
- If the permissions window is no longer open, right-click the GracePeriod folder and select Permissions again.
- Click Advanced.
- At the top of the Advanced Security Settings window, Click the Change link next to the current owner.
- Type Administrators in the blank and click Check Names. Confirm that the local Administrators group is listed and click OK.
- Check the box labeled Replace owner on sub containers and objects and click OK.
- Click OK again to close the permissions window, then attempt to change the permissions of the folder again.
- Right-click the
L$RTMTIMEBOMB… registry entry and select Delete. Click Yes to confirm the deletion. - Exit regedit.
- Reboot the session host server in order for the registry change to take effect.
