If you look at the RDP Connection Configuration, you can set or override
when to reset a Disconnected, Active or Idle Session after (separately)
specified lengths of time. I believe this can be set in Group Policy as
well.

With regard to logon time limits, you can specify that in user configuration
and then determine if the users are forced off after a specific length of
time expires, even if they are active.

FYI....the reskit screensaver tool I mentioned:

WinExit is a screen saver that logs the current user off after the specified
time has elapsed. It's similar to all other screen savers in that it can be
configured through the Control Panel by selecting Desktop. Set the Delay
value to a desired time to activate the screen saver. When the Delay time
elapses WinExit displays a dialog box (see below) in which it displays the
countdown timer and a user defined message. When the countdown timer reaches
zero the logoff process will be initiated. During the countdown timer you
can abort the process anytime by either moving the mouse over the dialog box
or pressing any key on the keyboard.
