Having trouble getting "Set action to take when logon hours expire" to work - Windows Server 2012

I have a Windows Server 2012 server that allows remote desktop users (sessions are hosted on the server itself). I'm trying to enforce logon hours for these remote desktop users.
I have specified logon hours for a user and confirmed that they work--they aren't allowed to logon when logon hours are disabled. However, they are allowed to continue a session past their logon hours limit if they are already signed in (which is fine, this
is the default behavior).
However, when I try to use the `Set action to take when logon hours expire` option (`User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Logon Options/Set action to take when logon hours expire`), and set the behavior to "Logoff",
nothing happens--the user can continue their session happily. I've tried applying this policy both for the user's group and for the local computer. I've run `gpresult` for the user and confirmed that the policy is apparently in place.
I also naively tried the "Force logoff when logon hours expire" option, but that apparently doesn't apply to interactive logins (confusing!).
Am I misapplying this setting, or do I need to take some other steps to get it to work? I'd be grateful for any input. Thanks!

Hi,
Sorry for the late response.
We can log off and log on again to see whether the setting gets applied.
According to
Policy Settings that require a reboot or logon section in the following article, this setting needs a logon.

  • Error -51 when trying to copy file to windows server 2012

    When I try to copy a file from OSX to windows server 2012 share, it acts like its going to start and i get a pinwheel and finder is acting slow and finally error -51. although it does seem to copy over the folder with correct name but no files inside. I had this issue on mavericks as well and now on yosemite beta. Please help!

    If the drive is formatted HFS then you are limited to 32 characters on a file name. If it is formatted HFS + then you can have file names as long as 255 characters. I am not familiar withi the format you say the drive is formatted in so I can't speak to it.
    If you are receiving -50 errors that can indicate a file name that is too long OR an illegal character in the filename regardless of its length.
    If you are actually using 10.3.8 as your profile states then that may be part of the problem. Many of these problems existed in 10.3.X but were fixed in 10.4
    I remember that 10.3.8 had issues copying to external drives when there were more than a certain number of characters in a filename. I don't remember the number but for some reason 10 or 12 is what comes to mind. It caused me many problems when I would try and copy files to a Zip disk that I used to have. Since I updated to 10.4 those issues have never occured again.
    Since you know what folder the problematic files are in why not just open the folder and try to copy files one at a time. When you get to the one(s) that is a problem, change the file name to something shorter.
    A better solution would be to update to 10.4 but with 10.5 coming out sometime in the Spring of 2007 this may not be the time.

    Hello everyone
    I have a problem to join computers to the domain.
    Well I can not understand Spanish but I guess it is related to RPC. :D
    In that case, you need to make sure your DNS entries are correct in clients NIC. Similar threads here:

  • Error: Invalid Parameter when trying to extend volume in Windows Server 2012

    From VMware, I added space to a Hard Drive to a Windows Server 2012 VM.  I then went into the WinServer console, and opened Disk Management.  I did a rescan on the disk.  It found the extra space.  I right mouse click on the Disk,
    and choose Extend Volume, choose the available space, and then an error returned of 'Invalid Parameter'.
    In Disk Manager, the new larger space is assigned, but Windows Explorer and everything else only recognizes the original smaller size.  
    EventManager shows Event ID 265: A pointer device did not report a valid unit of angular measurement.  Event ID 257: A pointer device reported a bad angular physical range. Event ID 258: A pointer device reported a bad angular logical range.
    Anyone have a solution for this problem?

    Hi,
    Please try to use the command line utility diskpart to extend the drive.
    1. Open a command prompt
    2. Type in diskpart
    3. Type list volume
    4. Type select volume #  
    5. Type extend [size=n] [disk=n]

  • I acquired an airport express to extend my cable modems wireless signal, BUT having difficulty getting set up.

    Having trouble getting set up.  I'm trying to set up airport express to extend my existing wireless network, so i can get a better signal for my iPad at the other end of the house.  I can get a green light on the airport device , but signal is still weak.  How do I tell if apple express has been properly set up.  Does the apple express need to be connect via ethernet to my cable modem (either for set up or to operate properly)?

    I'm trying to set up airport express to extend my existing wireless network
    If you are trying to "extend" using wireless only, Apple's "extend a wireless network" feature is a proprietary design that is designed to only work with other Apple routers.
    It would be extremely unlikely that the Express could be configured to "extend" a wireless signal from a 3rd party modem/router or gateway.
    More likely, the Express has been set up to "join" the wireless network. It does not provide any additional wireless signal in this type of configuration, which is designed for use with AirPlay.
    I can get a green light on the airport device , but signal is still weak.  How do I tell if apple express has been properly set up.
    If you have a Mac laptop handly, you can perform a quick check to see if the Express is actually "extending" the signal.
    Locate the laptop near your main router. Hold down the option key on the Mac and click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. Look for the BSSID and jot down the least few numbers for identification.  The BSSID is actually the AirPort ID of the device to which your Mac is connected at that time.
    Now move the laptop close to the AirPort Express and perform the same check,  If you see the same BSSID, this confirms that the laptop is still connecting to your main router's wireless signal...and the AirPort Express is not "extending" the wireless signal.
    If the Express is "extending", you will  of course see a different BSSID when you perform the check.
    Post back on your results, so we will know how best to proceed if you want to configure the Express to provide more wireless coverage. It will help if you can provide the make and model number of your "modem", which is likely a combination modem/router or gateway type of device.

  • A user is having trouble printing. Print jobs take FOREVER when they used to speed through

    A user is having trouble printing. Print jobs take FOREVER when they used to speed through (despite linked images, etc)
    These are just some notes from our troubleshooting:
    User was trying to print out InDesign document however during the flattening phase, the computer would stall and would not print out the document.
    The document does not print out using double sided or single sided.
    The first time I went out, all I did was a system restore and uninstalled mcafee security plus because we're on a university network and sometimes the firewall blocks network printing, and that worked. She tried to print again later and it went back to taking 30 minutes for a print job of about 19 pages. These print jobs used to take about 5 minutes at the most to print entirely, but they queued up immediately, versus now, it takes about 5 minutes just to get to the printer.
    Further troubleshooting that I did on a separate day:
    Printer was printing fine in November - problem started at some point this month (December)
    Printing is fine elsewhere, including in Adobe Acrobat
    I was able to print one page just fine - it had no images (tried to print the same page later, took forever)
    Some of the images are very large (100MB+) photoshop files (again, they were there before and it printed fine) - these images are linked (with no link errors)
    She prints to a network printer, but there's no firewall on (again, printing is fine elsewhere)
    She's essentially printing with the default settings, she just centers her print, instead of the default layout.
    Now even printing with the default print set (not changing any print settings at all) doesn't work. Jobs take 30 minutes. I can't figure out if it's file specific or where the problem is. Since she has no custom settings, my next option is to just do an uninstall and reinstall, but I'm worried that the problem will still be there. I was starting to think that maybe the file is just so corrupted from all the force quits that that's causing the problem, but... I'm running out of solutions.
    Any help? 

    I have only worked doing layout for one business in my past. In that job our department would sometimes experience slowdown in printing from time to time. However, we began to see extreme slowdowns over a month period. It was finally tracked down to two things. One was something about the RAID array going bonkers. The other was some of the CAT cabling going bad. It only affected large print jobs and copying large files through the network. Even so, it was not 100% of the time. Sometimes things went along smoothly.
    Point is, have your IT people been invited in to experience the issue and see if anything in the network is causing at least latency issues?
    Take care, Mike

  • I have been having trouble getting my email on my iPad. It started when I brought it to the US on vacation (I live in London and my email provider is Virgin Media). It worked once since I returned, but that is it. I can send emails, but can't get them

    Any ideas, people?

    Hi Kharels
    Just posted this reply to 2 others with same sort of question:
    I have the same issue as i have my own email address and only want to use.
    There are two ways around this annoying problem. The first is to set up your own domain email account alongside your iCloud one, and when you go to send each email tap on From and you get a choice of emails addresses to reply from... ie your own domain or the iCloud one.  This is tedious though.
    The other is to set up your iCloud email as normal, then create a new one altogether. Choose 'Other' when creating this new account. Then put for the incoming server mail.me.com, along with your user name and password. For the outgoing server put the server you want to use - ie your own domain one. This is therefore a hybrid account and does work.
    Now switch off the email for iCloud (leaving on Calendar, Address Book etc). Switch on the email for your hybrid account (which of course is iCloud incoming as well).
    Providing you have directed your own domain email address to your me.com one, you will find the iPhone should behave itself and you can use the folders etc and these will synch with your Mac ok.
    Hope this work for you - let us know.

    Hello Bdev15,
    I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too.  I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
    First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725
    If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network.  For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network.  Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:

  • TS1550 What about when using the "Time Capsule" HD as the external disk, especially when it is connected by ethernet cable? I'm having trouble getting it to work at all. Don't need it to work as anything else, other than a ethernet connected Time Machine

    What about when using the "Time Capsule" HD as the external disk, especially when it is connected by ethernet cable? I'm having trouble getting it to work at all. Don't need it to work as anything else, other than a ethernet connected Time Machine backup. Already have a wireless network that works fine so no need to mess with it. We get the internet via cable company and their modem is upstairs and the Time Capsule is downstairs in the basement. The latest error message was about it could not backup as it was already in use (should have written it down before clicking OK and moving on.

    See if this helps...

  • I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station.

    I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station. The Keyboard and mouse work great with the laptop lid open but when closed in the docking station the bluetooth signal does not seem to transmit.  Is there a setting that can be changed to allow an Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to wake the computer while docked?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I have an older IPOD that I'm having trouble getting new purchases on to my IPOD. I use to have a source list on the left hand side of screen where I dragged my purchases to and they downloaded.  Can't find place to check manual vs. auto sync.

    I have an older IPOD classic that I'm having trouble getting new purchases from library to IPOD. I use to have a IPOD icon in the source list on the left side of the screen. Now that is all gone. My purchases are coming up as recently purchased but can't figure out how to get them transferred to IPOD.  I also can't find how to confirm setting is for manual not auto sync as the first computer I had blew up and am now using a different one. I haven't had any of these problems prior to the updates.

Well stone the crows my soundcard was auto updated with new drivers and well you guessed it the soundcard did not show in the sound video controllers window No I have just joined this forum and it looks like3 you may have the answer for me .

  • New to CS6 Dreamweaver, creating a "Responsive Website" having trouble getting fluid divs to behave

    Trying to create a "Responsive Website" and I'm having trouble getting my fluid divs that I create to "break" their link from the "Boilerplate" .
    I'm using a "Fluid Grid layout Div" to create a section that has a transparent background of rgba(0,0,0,0.3) and that's perfect, then I add two more "Fluid Grid layout Div's" inside the transparent one to create a 2-column part in the section and that's where the trouble is.
    None of the "formatting" I've set for the text in my ID's or Classes are being used - just reverts to what's in the "Boilerplate" i.e. "p,h2,h3" and I can't get it to "break" it's link the "Boilerplate" so I can apply my formatting.
    I have been able to select my formatting at times but it is ignored and uses what's in the "Boilerplate".
    Kept trying different ways to get it to work and now I've so many of both the ID's and Class's that their not all showing up as an option to be able select them.
    I'm missing something basic and after two days it still escapes me.
    Please somebody, tell me what I'm missing.

    FluidGrid Layouts are not easy to learn.  You need a good grasp of fundamental RWD concepts including CSS Media Queries.  Keep your layout simple and be patient.  The first time I used FGLayouts, I had to start over 9 times before I got acceptable results.

    CS6 Fluid Grid layouts (17 min video)
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-dreamweaver-cs6/using-fluid-grid-layouts/
    Best advice for beginners:
    Build Mobile Layout first.  Everything else is based on this primary layout.  Then build Tablet layout and finally Desktop.  Don't worry about content.  Just build the layout & save often during development.
    DO NOT TAMPER with the boilerplate.css or FGLayout.css code.  Even experts can break the layout in a hurry.  Use a separate external style sheet for content and typography styles.
    If you're using CS6 ver 12.0, you cannot nest divs inside other divs.  Everything must be inside the .gridContainer like this:
    <body>
        <div class="gridContainer">
              <div> </div>
              <div> </div>
              <div> </div>
