Precisely. It'll only take a minute. You can only do it that way on NT4
though. W2K needs a bit more work.

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.
