How do I stop Remote Desktop from auto logout
User settings in sessions tab are set to never, never, never but Remote Desktop still auto logs out the users after 10 minutes.
My configuration is somewhat more complex in that my thin clients straddle two terminal servers. The primary login to "server1", the DC, and then all application icons on Server1 transfer the users to "Server2", a member server, via RDP as well. The login credentials are not the same for both servers. The "second" login set are based upon the application that is being selected but these users again are setup on "server2" under the sessions tab as never, never, and never? Do I have to add the second user set to the DC - and if so why? Doesn't the second server 2003 control its on remote desktop? This configuration is such to achieve speed, which it does!
Thanks in advance/

Agreed: Check which GPOs are applied to your Terminal Server with Resultant Set of Policies (RSoP).
You'll find the settings here:
Computer Configuration - Administrative templates - Windows Components - Terminal Services - Sessions
"Set time limit for disconnected sessions"
"Sets a time limit for active Terminal Services sessions"
"Sets a time limit for active but idle Terminal Services sessions"
"Terminate session when time limits are reached"
Here is a rundown of all the Terminal Session GPO settings and what affect they will have on your users remote sessions:
