ForceLogoffOnIdle

Create the following string value to configure the force logging off of idle Workspace Control sessions.

Key

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RES\Workspace Manager (32-bit)

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\RES\Workspace Manager (64-bit)

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RES\Workspace Manager (32-bit)

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node\RES\Workspace Manager (64-bit)

Value

ForceLogoffOnIdle

Type

REG_SZ

Data

Yes or No

ForceLogoffOnDisconnect

Create the following string value to configure the force logging off of disconnected Workspace Control sessions.

Key

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RES\Workspace Manager (32-bit)

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\RES\Workspace Manager (64-bit)

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RES\Workspace Manager (32-bit)

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node\RES\Workspace Manager (64-bit)

Value

ForceLogoffOnDisconnect

Type

REG_SZ

Data

Yes or No

ForceLogoffTimeoutOnDisconnect

Create the following string value to configure a timeout period, in minutes, before the force logging off of disconnected Workspace Control sessions.

Key

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RES\Workspace Manager (32-bit)

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\RES\Workspace Manager (64-bit)

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RES\Workspace Manager (32-bit)

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node\RES\Workspace Manager (64-bit)

Value

ForceLogoffTimeoutOnDisconnect

Type

REG_SZ

Data

<number of minutes>

Examples

To force idle Workspace Control sessions to log off after 30 minutes, configure the following registry settings:

  • ForceLogoffEnabled: Yes

  • ForceLogoffOnIdle: Yes

  • ForceLogoffTimeout: 30

To force disconnected Workspace Control sessions to log off after 10 minutes, configure the following registry settings:

  • ForceLogoffEnabled: Yes

  • ForceLogoffOnDisconnect: Yes

  • ForceLogoffTimeoutOnDisconnect: 10

If ForceLogoffTimeoutOnDisconnect is not set, then ForceLogoffTimeout is used to determine the timeout period. If that is not available either, then Workspace Control reverts to the default timeout of 1 minute. This means that the same timeout periods can be configured for both mechanisms, or different timeouts can be set for each mechanism.
