Configuring Remote Desktop Features

Table 5‑22. RDS Session Time Limits Group Policy Settings (Continued)
Setting Description
Terminate session when time limits are reached
Species whether to terminate a timed-out Remote
Desktop Services session instead of disconnecting it.
You can use this seing to direct Remote Desktop Services
to terminate a session (that is, the user is logged o and the
session is deleted from the server) after time limits for
active or idle sessions are reached. By default, Remote
Desktop Services disconnects sessions that reach their time
limits.
Time limits are set locally by the server administrator or in
Group Policy. See the "Set time limit for active Remote
Desktop Services sessions" and "Set time limit for active but
idle Remote Desktop Services sessions" seings.
If you enable this seing, Remote Desktop Services
terminates any session that reaches its time-out limit.
If you disable this seing, Remote Desktop Services always
disconnects a timed-out session, even if specied otherwise
by the server administrator.
If you do not congure this seing, Remote Desktop
Services disconnects a timed-out session, unless specied
otherwise in local seings.
N This seing only applies to time-out limits that are
deliberately set in the Remote Desktop Session Host
Conguration tool or Group Policy Management Console,
and not to time-out events that occur due to connectivity or
network conditions. Also note that this seing appears in
both Computer Conguration and User Conguration. If
both seings are congured, the Computer Conguration
seing overrides.
Set time limit for logoff of RemoteApp sessions
Use this policy seing to specify how long a user's remote
application session will remain in a disconnected state
before the session is logged o from the RDS host.
By default, if a user closes a remote application, the session
is disconnected from the RDS host.
If you enable this policy seing, when a user closes a
remote application, the remote application session will
remain in a disconnected state until the time limit that you
specify is reached. When the time limit specied is reached,
the remote application session will be logged o from the
RDS host. If the user starts a remote application before the
time limit is reached, the user will reconnect to the
disconnected session on the RDS host.
If you disable or do not congure this policy seing, when
a user closes a remote application, the session will be
disconnected from the RDS host.
N This policy seing appears in both Computer
Conguration and User Conguration. If both policy
seings are congured, the Computer Conguration policy
seing takes precedence.
