A simple script to Logoff Users after n minutes of idle time. The time is hard code in the script.

Description

Presentation Server Administrator has the possibility to kick users after n minutes of idle time. This should be very useful for operational farm management where it should be necessary to logoff users for server maintenance.The following example calculates the delta between the current time and the last session input time. If the delta is equal or greater then the defined idle the Username, Clientname and Session Idletime will be print out and the session will be logged off.

Hello,

 I try to use your script without the web tags. I need a script logging out automatically an idle user.

So I adapted it. But I get an error msg for the line that contains  MetaFrameCOM.MetaFrameFarm

I don't use cytrix, only wsh. What is this MetaFrame? Do I have to install something on the PC for your script to work?

Thank you for a small feed-back.

Greetings,

edubidu
