sbs 2011 standard remote user gets kicked off every day around 3:45-4:00 pm

SBS 2011 standard.

I have a weird issue going on. If anyone could shed some light I would appreciate it.
Everyday the same user, whom is working remotely from home, gets the following message and get kicked out of her session.

"Terminal Services Gateway Server Administrator has ended the connection. Try reconnecting later or contact your network administrator for assistance."

she can restart the session and all is ok ...until the next day.

has anyone run into this ?

Thank you for the suggestion. I looked at those configurations and set the gateway to override the user session properties. We will test it today....will know the answer at 4 pm.
I'll let you know.....

no luck....it is almost 8 hrs to the minute everyday. I know it is a setting somewhere but have not found it yet.....Thanks for the comeback.

Giving it some more time on ye' olde Google I found:

change HKEY_Local_machine\ system\currentcontrolset\control\terminal server entry fDenyTSConnections from 1 to 0

Open in new window

Something to do with a local registry setting overriding a GPO setting when gpupdate runs. May be worth a shot (must admit, not really my area of expertise)
Imagine standard disclaimer here about risks altering the registry...

Did that last info lead to anything?

Hi Robert....no she still gets kicked off in exactly 8 hrs.
Still looking for where to change it.

Hey, too simple a suggestion maybe, but I have only been thinking about Terminal Services Configuration so far, have you also checked the Active Directory configuration? I think you can set on various levels but for sure on user level (on the Account tab): the Active Session Limit (I think it is called), which can be set to 8 hours.

I was wondering if you ever came up with a solution for this? I've got a user experiencing the same issue and have been searching around quite a bit for an answer.
