Guest Cary Shultz Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 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
Guest Jeff Pitsch Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Re: GPO Setting question...TS Sessions related 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.

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

Guest Jeff Pitsch Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Re: GPO Setting question...TS Sessions related No problem. It would be nice if they could make that portion as a text box instead of defined values. Jeff Pitsch Microsoft MVP - Terminal Services Cary Shultz wrote: > Sometimes I do not like laptops!
