Hello,

I am having an issue with old profiles being left on the Terminal Servers. I
have enabled, "Delete cached copies of roaming profiles" on all servers. This
policy works great except for when users disconnect from there sessions. As a
result, I have a ton of profiles that I have to run utilities to cleanup.

Current Sessions Policies enabled:
Set Time Limit for disconnected sessions
Sets a time limit for active but idle Terminal Services sessions

I wanted to know if anyone ever used the policy, "Terminate sessions when
the time limits are reached". This policy will log users off gracefully
instead of hard resets.

The only thing that concerns with this policy is it states "Terminal
Services will terminate a session (that is, the user is logged off and the
session is deleted from the server) after time limits for active or idle
sessions are reached."

Does this statement mean even if I am competely active for 3 hours, that the
GPO will still log off the session or just idle sessions? I am looking to
logout only idle sessions. Thanks
 
Re: GPO Question about Disconnects

No, active sessions will not be ended.
There's another GPO setting for active sessions.

Note that this method can cause loss of unsaved data.
