GPO Setting question...TS Sessions related

[Guest Cary Shultz]

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

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.

Jeff,

 

Exactly what I expected to be the answer! I wanted to make sure that

Sometimes I do not like laptops! And, sometimes, they do not like me!

 

As I was saying....

 

I wanted to make sure that I was not missing something easy....not that

making .adm files is difficult!

 

Thanks,

 

Cary

No problem. It would be nice if they could make that portion as a text

box instead of defined values.
