Idle Session Time Out Via GPO not working
Can check on below first:
Verify GPO Application
1. Check GPO Application: Ensure that the GPO is correctly applied to the target machines. You can use the gpresult /h gpresult.html command to generate a report and verify that the GPO is applied.
2. Registry Settings: Confirm that the registry settings are correctly applied. The relevant registry keys are:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services
- Ensure that MaxIdleTime is set to the desired value (in milliseconds).
Additional Settings
1. Session Time Limits: Ensure that other session time limit settings are not conflicting with the idle timeout. Check the following GPO settings:
- Set time limit for disconnected sessions
- Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions
- End session when time limits are reached
It is resolved with
- End session when time limits are reached set as disabled.
earlier I had not configured this as enabling this kills the user session instead of just disconnecting it. so have kept it not configured.
but if I set this settings as disabled only then it disconnect the idle session time out after my expected idle time.
which is strange weird as i assume just setting idle session time out should disconnect the session.
