Default Idle Timeout in RDP


How do I increase the idle timeout period for TS in Windows 2003 server? It
seems that it is set to lock the PC and disconnect the session after 2
minutes of inactivity. (HIGHLY ANNOYING!)

Thanks

Default Re: Idle Timeout in RDP

You can configure the time-out settings in TS Connection
Configuration or a Group Policy.

But if users are disconnected after only 2 minutes, then someone must
have configured this settings, because that is certainly not the
default. If you find that no time-out setting is configured, I would
enable KeepAlives, because it could well be that there is a router
somewhere between your server and your clients which drops the
connection when it goes idle.
