I want to setup a time limit for Active but idle sessions on TS users for 8
hrs. how can I do that? I see options for 3hrs then it jumps to 1 day
 
Re: Active but idle session time limits

Hi,

You need to create a custom group policy template file (.adm)
with the settings you need or edit the existing one, in this case
system.adm. See this article:

How to create custom administrative templates in Windows 2000

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323639

The policy setting you are looking for is TS_Sessions_Idle_Limit.
Add a new one called TS_TIME_8HR with a value of 28800000.

The value is in milliseconds. If you use a custom file for your
session timeouts then make sure you leave them as unconfigured
in the default section so that the two do not conflict.

Re: Active but idle session time limits

If you're using Win2k3, you can use TSWMI Win32_TSSessionSetting.TimeLimit
to set this property to the milliseconds:

Re: Active but idle session time limits

Hi,

This means that the setting will apply to all users instead of
just those that the GPO applies to. In many cases this is
not what is desired.
