idle session limits

[Guest stevie]

I am running TS 2003 RD2. Regarless of what I set the idle session limits to,

the server makes them log back in after 10 minutes of no use. Any Sugesstions?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Please change the screen saver timeout value (or disable), either

manually or via group policy. By default it is set to 10 minutes.

 

Thanks.

TP,

 

thanks for replying back, so quick. There is no screen saver running on the

server. I am using local user settings for regulating the time, which is,

End a session = 1 min

Active session limit= Never

Idle session limit =1 hour

 

When a session limit is reached = disconnect

 

Allow any connection from any client

 

I'm not running active directories, nor a domain controller. Question,

should I enable the time limits in GP, to get away from this 10 minute limit

for my users, and should I set it at a higher value, than the limits I have

them set. ie: 30 minutes for idle, and in GP enable = 1 hr

 

Thanks again for your quick response.

Hi Steve,

 

When you install a 2003 server the default is for each

local user [whose profile is created from the default user

profile] to have the Windows Server 2003 screen saver

(scrnsave.scr) set with a 10 minute timeout and resume

password protection enabled. This is why users are

prompted for their password if they leave their session idle

for 10 minutes. TS session time limits have nothing to do

with the screen saver.

 

The solution is to have them manually change their screen

saver settings or set them automatically via group policy.

 

Put another way, if you install 2003 server with Terminal

Server enabled, create users, and they logon via

Remote Desktop, then they will be prompted to enter

their password after 10 minutes of idle time.

 

If I have misunderstood what is happening in your

environment please let me know.

 

Thanks.

TP,

 

Thanks for the reply. I will implement it on monday. I think you hit it on

the head, since, am running an app on their logon. My oversight error, and

would have never figured this out without your help. I appreciate the time

and effort you and Vera put into helping all of us.

 

Thanks again
