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.

  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.

  Subject: [THIN] Idle session limit...



  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.
