Auto Logoff Policy

Hi

I occassionally have to work remotely on a Windows SBS 2003 server which
logs me out of the session after 2 hours. Where is this policy set and how
can I change this?

Thanks

Are you logged in a as a User? Administrator?
RWW OWA VPN?

What type of session and what user account?

Russ

Hi Russ

As built-in system administrator account, using RDC.

You might try:

Set time-out settings for disconnected, active, and idle sessions
(see: Using Terminal Services Configuration, probably Active Session Limit)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...77.aspx#BKMK_2

I believe the defaults (with nothing defined) are:

Active Connection: 120 minutes
Disconnection: 10 minutes
Idle: 30 minutes.
