Related to: How often do you restart a heavily-utilized Windows Server 2008R2 Remote Desktop Server (VM)?

If there are some disconnected user sessions on a Windows Server 2008R2 or Windows Server 2012R2 Remote Desktop Server, is there any way to persist them to a file - as the "hibernate" function does - so that users' unsaved files and application states may survive the reboot? I am open to built-in as well as third-party solutions.

If there is not a way to do this, do you think it is because of the perceived lack-of-need for such a function, or rather some insurpassable technical hurdle to its implementation?

No, this is not possible with the default tools. The best way to solve the problem of users continuing to log on is to enable drain mode on the server. You can then send a warning to the users as they log in to the disconnected sessions to re-login, and they will get directed to the second TS in the farm.
