Hey guys,
Can this be done? I want to be able to set an idle timeout (ICA) of 2 hours, but at the same time I want to have that timeout ignored (or not in effect) during a set time period. For example, from 8 am to 5 pm, I don't want idle sessions to be disconnected. But after 5:00 pm, I DO want the idle sessions to disconnect.
Can this be done?
We are running MetaFrame PS4 on Windows 2003 Servers.
What do you guys think?
As far as I am aware I think this cannot be done since the ICA settings are not policy based and global settings which apply to everything on the server all the time.
But I could be wrong!

Hi,
Since you can set idle session limits via Group Policy, if you can figure out how to have two group policies that apply at different times of the day then you'd have a solution.
For example, you could have your "office hours" GPO without any WMI filtering, then have an "after hours" GPO (set to enforced so it has precedence) using a WMI filter on the GPO and query Win32_UTCTime:
"Select * FROM Win32_UTCTime where Hour >17 and Hour < 23"
You would have to adjust the query to match your time zone (i.e. -5 for EST), but that might just work...
