Setting RDP session timeout auto logoff

When sharing a dev server there is always someone who ‘disconnects’ rather than logging off or leaves their RDP session connected and idle.

You can set timeouts for these situations to auto logoff the user. I dont do it very often so thought I’d leave a reminder here….

1. Start at Administrative Tools in Control Panel

2. Select Terminal Services Configuration

3. Right click RDP-Tcp and select Properties

4. Select the Sessions tab and set the disconnect and idle as required
