Why can't I reconnect to an old terminal server session?

CSDE :: Services : Computing
First, please note the weekly maintenance times for CSDE terminal servers. If you have a session open during this time period, your session will be closed.

If a network error has caused you to be disconnected from a session, it is often the case that you won't be able to reconnect to it right away. This is because it takes some time for the server to realize that you're no longer there.
