Terminal services disconnect after about 10 minutes.

[Guest Scott]

Basic problem: users connecting to TS machine get logged off and then logged

back on after 10 minutes idle time.

 

clients: (XP sp2)

using Remote Desktop Connection

connect to: Windows Server 2003 R2 terminal services machine.

RDP listener has idle timeout set to Never.

GPO for terminal services machine is set to idle timeout never.

 

At first I thought it was a network connectivity issue, so I setup a

remote desktop to a different machine on the same LAN as the terminal

services machine, but that is staying connected.

 

I'm sure there's some simple thing I either didn't do that I was supposed

to, or was supposed to do but didn't, but if anyone has any idea as to how to

stop this, I'd appreciate it.

 

Thanks

are you sure this is not caused by screen saver?

Pretty sure. i've disabled screen savers, and I've seen this problem happen.

They're getting logged off (not locked) and when they get logged back on

(which happens immediately after getting logged off) I can see their logon

scripts running.

Re: Terminal services disconnect after about 10 minutes.

 

Correction: I found out the user I had disable their screen saver actually

didn't do it. So I did it. And it appears to have worked!

 

Thanks Very Much!

Re: Terminal services disconnect after about 10 minutes.

 

This thread helped me solve the same problem...but with slightly different

conditions.

- We connect using remote desktop to a server running Win2003 Server Std

Edition w/SP2.

- One of my users was being logged out after 10mins. His screen saver (on

the server) was turned off (set to 'none') and the interval was 10mins. (As

I understand this function, the interval doesn't matter if there is no screen

saver selected.) This user had admin access rights to the server.

- I selected a screen saver, changed the interval to 99mins, and clicked

Apply/OK. I then selected no screen saver, left the interval at 99, and

clicked Apply/OK.

- This solved the problem. I'll update this if I discover that he is

disconnected after 99 mins.
