Publish RDS Application and time out

[Fabio Storni]

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to set a timeout on a session to an application published by an RDS Farm.

I've seen many parameters (from the Horizon console and GPO/RDS Configurations) but I can't find the correct parameter. My wish is the following (I'll take Wordpad as an example):

- The user connects (with the horizon client) and launches his Wordpad application through the horizon client (On the RDS server side the session is active state with idle time at 0)
- He works for 30 minutes (On the RDS server side the session is in an active state with idle time at 0)
- He goes on a lunch break and leaves the application open (On the RDS server side the session is active state with the idle time that starts to increase)

After 60 minutes of idle time, I would like the connection between the Horizon client and my application to be interrupted, keeping the session active on my terminal server (to be resumed later if necessary).

 

I have found a solution with Microsoft GPO "Set Time Limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services Sessions" ....is for all RDP sessions.

But isn't there a similar configuration on the horizon administration console?

You got the right RDS policy.  that will set the RDS idle timer to "timeout".   

Then per farm you set the actions to disconnect, and the logoff those disconnected session after x minutes to clean up the session.

@Fabio Storni method described by @BenTrojahn is the best and works fine 🙂
