Terminal Services Group Policy Settings

Hi all,

I'm trying to use group policy to log off disconnected users rather than creating a bunch of separate pools.

Terminal Services Group Policy Settings for Sessions

When I use the above group policy setting on a test VM, RDP to the VM, and run tsdiscon, I get the expected behavior.  When I attempt the same thing on a VM through PCOIP (whether I run tsdiscon or simply disconnect the session), I don't get the expected behavior.  I noticed that when I run "query session" on the VM through PCOIP, it says I'm connected to the console, and in the documentation for the above group policy setting, it says that it doesn't logoff console sessions.  Am I misunderstanding what the above group policy settings are supposed to be used for, or am I getting connected to console when I'm not supposed to.

I'm running Horizon View 5.3 with Windows 7 and Active Directory 2003.  Thanks in Advance.

In 5.3 and when connecting to a VDI desktop. Not a RDSH based desktop these polices would only apply to a RDP based session. PCoIP is a console remoting protocol and not integrated through a protocol provider when connecting to a VDI desktop. In 6.0 we added PCoIP to RDSH and it's integrated though a protocol provider and is session based not console based. This would work with RDSH based desktops and PCoIP in 6.0. In that case Query Session would show you VMware-RDS#(Session ID) indicating its a VMware protocol session.
