( ) I opened a case with Citrix on the problem and they had me collect process dumps and a full system dump. I added idlelogoff.exe into the locoffchecksysmodules registry string value but no dice. This functionality works great except that having the idlelogoff.exe process active when a user goes to log out from a published application session is preventing the session from being closed properly. We need this to lock published application sessions (vs. I’m launching the utility from a logon script with the paramater to lock the computer after 900 seconds. Im attempting to use this utility within a Citrix envirnment to lock sessions after 15 min.

Anything less than 10 seconds is set to 10 seconds.Ĭall it from the users startup script to make sure it is active while they are logged in. It has some sanity checking for the timeout. If you wanted it to shutdown the workstation after 30 seconds of no activity this would do it: If you wanted it to lock the workstation after 30 seconds of no activity this would do the trick If you wanted a user to get booted off after 5 minutes (300 Seconds) of no activity, You would call it like this: Timeout - The number of idle seconds before the action is takenĪction - You can lock, log the user off, shutdown or restart the workstation. Here is how it works, you call the program like this: So I had the team build a little app that would just logoff or lock idle users. Locking the workstation for this situation is bad too – since it makes it so the customer cannot use the machine.ĭid some googling and found some hacks that used chopped up screen savers that would activate, and then call some logoff code.ĭidn’t like that. If one of the technicians walks away, it leaves the system wide open. In her case she needs it for public facing kiosks. Then boom the forced logoff happens and their document is gone. I spoke with Tracy further to explain that forcing a logoff could cause data loss.įor example, a user has a Word document open and they walk away. Is there any easy way to logoff a user when they are not active for say, 15 Minutes?” Love all the tools and tips you keep sending our way. When you add the "remote control of the actively logged in user" is where you get Remote Assistance or third-party tools.“Hi Steve. If you can open it up to third-party stuff you'll have a lot more options, with a lot of logging and auditing which I'd expect to be highly desirable in a casino environment.Įdit: Actually, RDP access to workstations is trivial as described in the original post - when you connect, the other person's session is disconnected/locked but not logged off. If it's remote control, I hope you'll be out of luck and you should have a real talk with your manager about why he wants you to find ways to circumvent security with non-logging tools. At the very least, you may have to disable UAC on those systems, but you might also have to have something that runs as the logged-in user, but that's going to be visible at least at some stages. If it's remote monitoring you may have more luck, in that with administrative rights you may be able to script something that will grab screenshots every (configurable period) and dump them to a network destination - I'm just not sure if it can run in an administrative context and still have access to the screen of the user currently locally logged in. Frankly, if you figure out a way to do this using just the built-in stuff in Windows then it needs to be patched. Is the goal view-only remote monitoring or is it untraceable unlogged hacked-together remote control of casino staff computers? Because the way you described it, the second has to be a consideration.
