In User Manager, select all of the users that you want to affect (click while holding Shift or Ctrl), then go to User and Properties, you can then modify the timeout settings for the whole bunch of them in one stroke. Then go back and set the one user to whatever you want him to be. Jan Broucinek, System Manager Arthur Rutenberg Homes, Inc.

You got it right. You don't' really have many options here. Either you go with server based limitations, or you set the ICA connection settings on the server to 'inherit client config' and setup the user accounts in your domain with the 20 minute idle session limitation. If the domain is windows 2000, you 'Might' be able to use ADSI scripting to change the 'idle session' timeout variable for all the users in one pass. (haven't personally done it, but it should be possible, if anyone else has done this . . and wants to insert some tips feel free). Otherwise, your customer is going to be stuck making modifications to all their users domain accounts . . . in order to stop a single user from being logged out when they run their reports.

I have a customer who is running TSE 4.0 w/ Metaframe XPa FR1. He has the Idle Session Limit set for 20 minutes for the ICA-TCP Protocol, thus setting the default for the machine and overriding any user specified settings. Now he needs one user to be set for unlimited as the user keeps getting logged off after 20 minutes while running long reports. I suggested that he set not the ICA-TCP protocol for a Idle Session Limit and instead set a 20 minute idle session limit in the user properties instead. That way he as more granular control over the idle session limit on a per-user bases. He didn't like that idea as he says there are lot of users that would need to modified. Any other ideas? Reghacks? Any programs which will keep the session marked active instead of idle? Obviously MF FR2 or GPOs won't work since he is running TSE 4.0. Joe
