Power button on RDS
-
I set up a new Server 2012R2 Remote Desktop Server and when the users press the power button, the only option is "Disconnect". I want to set it to "Sign out". (Which is currently available when the click their name.)
I changed the setting in group policy, but it seems to be ignored.
I though maybe the group policy .admx needed to be updated to support Server 2012R2, so I downloaded the Windows 10 policy and tried that. I didn't see any difference.
Any ideas?
-
did you run Group Policy results and see if there was an error?
-
@Dashrender nice catch. The policy isn't applying at all....
-
I confirmed it's applied now, and still it ignores the setting.

maybe the server has to power cycle?
-
power cycled with no change.

Try creating a user that has no GPOs applied, log in and see what you get
-
@Dashrender If the user is an admin, I get disconnect, shut down, restart, non admins get disconnect.
-
right, make them a non admin, but has logon rights.
I don't recall what the default permission for someone with non admin are.. Logout seems like it should be there.
Could you have multiple GPOs and this one is being over ridden?
-
Don't think that's going to work. That applies to the local console, not the RDP session.
-
I would just set the general RDS policy to log off disconnected sessions after XX seconds.

That's what we do.. Even idle sessions we disconnect.
