We have a Windows 2000 Server. We use a Remote Desktop from a Windows XP
to remote control to this server. When I finish, do I select "Disconnect"
or "Log-off"? We have a DOS batch file running on this server. If we
select Log-off, would the batch file be closed also? Thanks.

Yes, if the batch file runs in your session, then logging the session
off stops all processes, including the batch file.
If the batch file runs in the console session, it would continue to
run, but then you wouldn't be able to see it in your remote session,
since you cannot connect to the console session of a W2K TS.
