Idle time out GPO for Remote Desktop Services sessions not working in Windows 2019 servers
I have configured GPO to Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions. Policy has been set to disconnect sessions which are idle for more than 3 hours. But I am getting warning...
Thanks for your response Austin.
I have no issues with configuring GPO, Our issue is GPO isn''t working properly only for Windows 2019 Servers!!
I have configured Set time duration for active but idle Remote Desktop Service sessions to 3 hours. As per GPO, technically it has to disconnect idle session after 3 hours only. But its getting disconnected after 30 minutes itself and this happens only in Windows 2019 servers.
Same GPO works fine for Windows 2016 servers.

effjaayNo, I have applied workaround by configuring these policies in local policy on the affected servers.
- kpr208, when applied locally does it work.
My scenario is session is not timing out and leaving the machine inactivity limit time to free the session- Hi,
Did you manage to fix it?
When you say you applied locally, was that via gpedit, the Collection Configuration or the registry directly?
New 2022 RDS deploy showing same behavior.
Thank you.
Has this been fixed yet? If so what was/is the solution?
- Not sure why I haven't seen this comment before. So local configuration gets the sessions to Log Off from the Disconnected state after the appropriate amount of time? Did you use registry keys, the RD Config tool or just local Policy?
I did do everything through GPO
