Session Time out   

When I RDP into a Terminal Server (either with AD or not) and then walk away 
from the session for longer than 10 minutes, well when I come back to the 
session it is locked (as in lock workstation) and I have to CTRL+ALT+DEL and 
then enter my password to get back into the same session.  How can I increase 
this timeout time or get rid of it entirely.  Preferably not through group 
policy as one server does not have AD.

Re: Session Time out   

If you can unlock after Ctrl-Alt-Del, then it is the screen saver on 
your local workstation.

If you can unlock after Ctrl-Alt-End, then it is the screen saver on 
the Terminal Server.

Disable the screen saver where it is enabled: either in a AD-based 
GPO, the local policy on the server (with gpedit.msc), or in your own 
profile.

Re: Session Time out   

It doesn't come up with the option of Ctrl+ Alt+Del it just comes up with 
Workstation locked enter password.  I checked the local PC screensaver 
settings and they were set to 60minutes but the session timeout is 10minutes. 
 How can I set it on the server without AD?

Re: Session Time out   

As I wrote, with gpedit.msc
Note that this has nothing to do with a session time out (if it 
was, you would be disconnected from the server). It's the screen 
saver.
