terminal services manager on xp

[STFW]

I want to run the "terminal services manager" that I see on my 2003 machines,
but in a snap-in on my mmc console on my xp machine. I can't seem to find a
download for this. I want to log off admins that are forgetting to log off
and instead just disconnect. Is there a way to set an autologoff after so
much time of inactivity? TIA.

Hi,

There's a Group Policy to set a time limit on disconnected sessions as well
as idle sessions, you can find details here:

Hope this helps...

You can install TS Manager from the 2003 Adminpak.
The version you need depends on the SP which is running on your
server, so search the download area on Microsoft for "adminpak".

And you don't have to install all the tools:

There are commnad line tools equivalent which you can use, which come with
XP pro.
To query a session, use
qwinsta.exe /Server:servername
To logoff a session, use
logoff.exe sessionid /Server:servername

Thanks
