Automatically Logoff a Disconnected Windows User

We come across a query of automatically logging in to a Windows user who is already disconnected. If you are also facing the same issue, then check the following guidelines. Note: the steps for this start from “Windows Group Policy”.

1. Log in to your Windows Server
2. Open “Group Policy” by running the command through the “Run” tab -> gpedit.msc
3. On the left side you will see “Administrative Templates” – Click on that option
   
4. On the right side there is “Windows Components” – Click on that file.
5. Now click on “Terminal Services”
   
6. In “Terminal Services” you will see three files – select “Terminal Server”.
   
7. After clicking on “Terminal Server” you will see several files > select “Session Time Limits”.
   
8. In “Session Time Limits” you will see “Set a time limit for disconnected sessions” isn’t configured.
   
9. Click on “Set time limit for disconnected sessions” – you will see setting options.
   
10. Click on “Enabled” and select a time span.
    
11. Now click on “Apply” and then “OK”
    

That’s it!!!
