Win 2022 - log out user after certain time?

DeadlyChemist

hey

I'm on Windows Server 2022

I'd like to logout (disconnected only!) certain users after xyz time of inactivity
so if someone disconnects the time starts ticking.

i found this but no clue how to make it for certain users only...

don't want for everyone because obviously i want to be except (i pay)

any ideas/tipps?

Automatically Log off Disconnected and Idle Remote Desktop User Sessions

Make sure you are running either trial version of windows server OS or activated version.

Otherwise it will log out automatically every 30 to 45 minutes

SOLVED (now you owe me 10er?)

open terminal and type mmc

create snapins

open the snapin and user of your choice

go to:
user configuration -> Adminisrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Session Time Limits

choose whichever you want and change as you like
the changes will only apply to selected user! (appears to work with my small test)

i am glad it worked for you i will note this down.
