GPO Setting question...TS Sessions related

[Cary Shultz]

Good evening!

We have a client who has a Terminal Server. I have a GPO that locks things
down a bit. Included in this GPO are the following:

Active Session Limit: 1 day
Idle Session: 3 hours
End disconnected session: 30 minutes


My question here is: the 'increments' offered by the GPO are a bit lacking.
1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours and then 1 day! What if I would like 4 hours? How
do I get '4 hours' as an option to this? An option specifically for Idle
Session..... And, for Active Session - what if I would like 8 hours as an
option?

Thanks,

Cary

You can create your own ADM or edit the existing ADM. The adm's (if
Win2k3 or lower) are located in c:\windows\inf and you can typically
search for them pretty easily. I believe what you want to search for is
TS_SESSION.

Jeff,

Exactly what I expected to be the answer! I wanted to make sure that

Sometimes I do not like laptops! And, sometimes, they do not like me!

As I was saying....

I wanted to make sure that I was not missing something easy....not that
making .adm files is difficult!

Thanks,

Cary

No problem. It would be nice if they could make that portion as a text
box instead of defined values.
