Question on Windows Server - if I remote desktop into a server, and then proceed to the lock the screen (rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation), and close the window...because I wanted to keep a process running on that machine...

Is there a time when that locked session expires or fizzles out and becomes disconnected?

If the session became disconnected, that process I was running earlier may not function.

Or....does it stay good for as long as no one logs into that account again?

That would depend if any policy settings that have been set to limit the time.
Both the User & Computer sections of policy offer several kinds of time limits at the following path:
...\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits

  • End a disconnected session
  • Active session limit
  • Idle session limit
  • When a session limit is reached or connection is broken
