Automatically log out idle and disconnected users

Hi,
Windows Server 2008 R2 Domain.
Im trying to have users that are connected with RDP to other servers and clients to automatically log out if there are idle og disconnected for more than 30 minutes. Im able to get it working if i use computer configuration, but I want this to work under
user configuration, so im not sure what I am doing wrong.
I have configured the following. Created a single GPO on the root of the domain, and put a desktop 7 client in this container. Then i have configured a GPO with the following settings: User Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>Windows
Components>Remote Desktop Services>Session Time Limits: Here I have enabled "Set time limit for disconncted sessions", "Set time limit for active but idle...." and "End session when time...."
If i check the GPO, under security filtering i have Authenticated Users, and they have read and apply, and it is linked to the correct OU.
If I now log in to my client and do a gpupdate /force log out and in again, I can see the GPO is not applied correct. The strange thing is that is named under Computer Settings> The following GPOs were not applied because they are filtered out.. here
is my GPO and reason is "Not applied (Empty). Under User settings there is no such GPO applied...
I thought that it should have been under user settings .... if i configure the GPO as a computer settings it works.... but should not this also work for users ?
/Regards Andreas

It will come at : User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Session Time Limits
Refer below link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753112%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
It will come means, you will find the settings at the mentioned path. That's for terminal session can be applied on servers not necessarily only for Terminal servers.
Best practice is to add security group in the security filter. But yes if you have less number of users, you can add them directly.

Log out/Sleep and disconnecting...

Is it possible to log out with keeping my internet, ichat, and other programs open? Also, is it possible to put my computer on sleep with keeping my internet, ichat, and other programs open? I hate it how I have my preferences set on better battery life, and if I'm away from my computer after 15 minutes it goes to sleep... then I lose the websites I was on and my documents I was working on, etc.
Please help!

If you use <cflogin> you can use <cflogout>. If you want to clear session variables you can just set the individual session.varablename to "". You can also use structDelete(Session, "variablename").

Opening OEM for two Oracle 11gR2 Databases in the same web browser automatically log out.

Hi to everyone,
I have an issue regarding Oracle Enterprise Manager in 11gR2. I have two database (SWPROD, PDPROD) in a single server. When I open the OEM URL for SWPROD it is successfully logged on but when I open the OEM URL for PDPROD and successfully logged on the other tab for SWPROD will automatically logged out. And when I switch to the other tab for PDPROD it is also automatically logged out. Both OEM URL is open in a single web browser like Mozilla Firefox. What would be the reason why both OEM URL will be logged out when I open them at the same time?
Thank you for your incoming response.

Well it seems the only way to clear these out of EM was to shut BOTH RAC nodes down and power them up one at a time. Now the updates aren't shown as required and my compliance score is where it should be.
Is this a bug ? Seems pretty stupid to have to shut down both RAC nodes to fix this. Powering a single RAC node off and back on did not clear this.
Unless i'm missing something??

Safari Automatic Log out??

We have our iMac set to log out automatically after 10 minutes of inactivity, but lately it has been shutting down everything we have open including Safari and iPhoto which can be very annoying when you're working on a project or keeping tabs on an auction, etc. Question is, how can we get the computer to "time out" and require a password to log back in but still keep our programs open? Essentially, like "locking" a Windows computer... or is there a separate option to close programs automatically also that we might have accidentally activated?
Thanks!

I do not know much about "locking" a PC, hvdel, but if you are still using Snow Leopard, in System Preferences, in the Security pane, under the General tab, there is a setting to automatically log out after X minutes of inactivity. Near the top of that pane, there is a check box that allows you to require a password after sleep or the screen saver begins.
If you log out, any open programs must close. However, you can put the computer to sleep and that will not quit any programs.
So what you can do is uncheck the automatic log out option and instead use the Energy Saver options in System Preferences to put the computer to sleep after 10 minutes. Then you can go to the General tab in the Security settings pane and check the box requiring a password immediately after sleep or screen saver begins.
Then the computer will go to sleep, but no one can wake it up without a password. So, in effect, you are locking the computer without logging out.

How to retrieve users logging-in and logging-out date and times in SharePoint

At the moment I am using SherePoint 2013 with a few tenants.
I am going to have access to the users logging-in and logging-out dates and times.
For instance, I would like to know the detail of the dates and times which a particular user of a tenant has logged-in and logged-out during the past few months.
Any idea?

You can retrieve that info from the IIS log files. Maybe you can use a free IIS reporting tool that I've built and adjust it to your own needs, you can get it here:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/The-SharePoint-Flavored-5b03f323
Btw, in a web environment usually there is no such thing as the log-out date and time because the end user just stops making requests. So, you've got to take a look at the last request and by default, after 20 minutes the session times out and you can assume
the session has ended.

Can't automatically log out of guest account

I'm setting up a computer lab of Mac Minis. I want to set them up to automatically log out after 10 minutes of no activity. I have adjusted the necessary settings in the system preferences/security settings, but it still won't completely log out of the guest account. It will get stuck at the screen which reads "If you log out, your files will be deleted". It won't go further until you choose "Delete files and log out". This completely defeats the purpose of automatically logging out. I don't trust that the users of these computers will actually log themselves out every time.
How can I change this so that this pop up screen doesn't show up but the computer just logs out?

No I haven't found a solution to this. I'm not sure what the deal is, but this seems to be an oversight of the Snow Leopard developers as far as I can tell.

Automatic log-out after 20 minutes working in a layout

Hello
We have an automatic log-out of the layout after 20 minutes of work. The time out is set up at 58 minutes. Does anyone know of a paramater in a 3.0B that would trigger this log-out ? Something separate from the main time-out ?
Regards
Fabrice

It is not different from main time-out as per my understanding.
As step 1, pls check your patch level to SEM. The current patch level is 12.
Step 2: The time-out/idle time parameters are set by the Basis consultant. Please explain to your Basis person and he/she will help you out.
Step 3: Have you checked that whether you are locked? whether your transactions take longer or longest time to excute? or hangs over? Then it may be a software bug. Please take-up with SAP OSS support.
PS: Please award suitable points if the answers provide direction and clue.

When I open tabs, I am automatically logged out of all tabs.

== Issue
==
Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
== Description
==
On a certain website, I like to work in tabs. I mainly am on the forums, and will have multiple threads up on tabs. However lately, every time I open a tab I get logged out.
If I stay and work in ONE tab I am fine, but if I open a second tab I am automatically logged out.
I have cleared cache, cookies, and all browsing history.
I have gone in and deleted/renamed the cookies.sqlite file, restarted Firefox, and that still doesn't help.
I upgraded to the newest version of Firefox, and still doesn't work right.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Planning app automatically logs out

User gets automatically logged out of Planning after saving supporting detail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Well, I tried this:

Because this person has the same problem:
http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/71/859327
However, when I boot up, it asks me to choose my language. I choose English and click the forward arrow, the screen goes gray and it takes me back to the language screen. And now I can't get back to the login screen. So, I'm not able to set up another account.
If I can get back to the login screen, I'll try logging in as root.
Any advice on getting this back?

Automatically Logging out of my web hosting service

I am using my web hosting service with Firefox 3.6.13 and I keep getting automatically logged out of the web hosting service. I contacted tech support for the web hosting service and they said it was a problem with the browser - cookies/settings/etc - I couldn't find any solution. I need to be able to set Firefox so I can stay logged into my web hosting indefinitely. Thank You.

Automatically logged out from SQL tool on update queries

This is a local instance configuration issue. Our current setup has the unfortunate feature that whenever you attempt to run an "update" statement in the SQL query tool, you get automatically logged out. I was guessing that it's a permissions issue , but the DBA says it's not. Has anyone else seen this behavior and know what causes it?
thanks

Automatic Log-out while iTunes is playing

For a long time neither I nor Apple technical representatives were able to figure out why my system would automatically log out after some time when its only activity was playing something in iTunes.
Finally I figured out that playing something in iTunes disables automatic sleep settings, but it does not disable automatic log-out in System Preferences > Security > "Log out after _ minutes of inactivity". In order to prevent automatic log-out, you have to disable this setting.
I wonder if this is an oversight in the iTunes program, because other programs (e.g. Pages, Numbers) cancel this automatic log-out if there is an unsaved document open. Having something playing in iTunes really should do this as well.

Thanks so much for posting this solution. Was driving me nuts. Using Airtunes to provide party music was consistently getting embarrassing just as we were sitting down to dinner and I had to excuse myself to get up to log-in on the computer again.... ridiculous... can't thank you enough for pointing to the solution.

Majority of library gone after automatic log out?

So today I opened iTunes to find I had been automatically logged out - not a big deal, I didn't think. But now almost all of my music except for a small handful of songs and all of my pictures/apps/the like are gone.
I haven't made any changes to anything lately - no downloads or updates on either my computer or iTunes. Can anybody tell me what happened or how I could possibly get everything back?

Automatic Log Out ???

Can someone tell me what the time limit is to stay logged in. I bet I have logged in 9 or 10 times today and am getting tired of it. I don't notice right away and look for a 'reply' tag and ....... grrrrr - gotta go log in again.
Oh, and is there a way to stay logged in maybe that I am unaware of.
Thank you

buz --
It could be two things:
1. Automatic log out after 30 minutes.
No one has announced this change from the old AD boards.
2. The servers can't handle the load.
Again, no one has announced a problem with the servers.
It would be great if the Hosts here would just tell us which it is, eh?
