Re: Terminal Services Idle Timeout

Are the users getting the popup message that
says:

Idle timer expired : Session has been idle over its time limit.
It will be disconnected in 2 minutes.
Press any key now to continue session.

If so then the idle timeout is set somewhere else.

Session timeouts can be set:

On the Connection object

Start-->Run-->tscc.msc-->right-click RDP-Tcp-->Properties-->Sessions tab

On the User object

Active Directory Users & Comp-->right-click the user-->Properties-->Sessions tab

On the Group Policy object

Edit the GPO-->User-->Admin-->Win Comp-->Term Serv-->Sessions

And

Edit the GPO-->Comp-->Admin-->Win Comp-->Term Serv-->Sessions

The users may not have noticed the popup window, so
check the event log for Application Popup entries.

Thanks.
