I am trying to launch an application on a Windows 2003 server via logging into it remotely from my Windows 7 machine. When I log off of the server, I notice that it closes the application as well. Is there a way I can configure the server to keep my app running after I log out of the server?

p.s. It is a GUI app and I have tried to configure it as a service but that isn't working as intended.

If you can't get it to work as a service, just disconnect from the RDP sessions instead of logging out.

"Logging Off" versus "Disconnecting" from remote desktop sessions

Make sure the server is configured to not close disconnected sessions faster than you'd like to reconnect. – Keith Stokes Jan 16 at 21:26
Well in this case, the app should run unmonitored for weeks. And since the server is set up to only allow 2 remote connections, leaving one in a disconnected state could fill up the allowable limit of remote sessions. – CheckRaise Jan 17 at 17:05
