Set auto-logoff / idle timeout settings in AWS Workspaces, via AD Tools is possible? via PCoIP?

Hello,

Greetings!! Thank you for contacting us!

I understand that you want to Set up auto-logoff / idle timeout settings in AWS Workspaces.

To commence, your understanding is correct as mentioned in our AWS documentation that "Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions" is currently not supported on WSP WorkSpaces.

Now in order to use for PCOIP workspaces I have looked further and was able to find few third party articles and resources that might be helpful to serve your use case.

[ Note]:- I would suggest you to try these steps first on a testing workspace instance to prevent any production impact as these involve third party articles.

##Create a GPO :-

-> Log On a directory administration WorkSpace or an Amazon EC2 instance that is joined to your WorkSpaces directory.
-> Open group policy management console :: Run -> gpmc.msc.
-> Expand the Forest -> Domains -> look for the desired domain -> "Group Policy Objects" -> right click on "Group Policy Objects" and click on "New".
-> Name the Group policy accordingly - click "ok".
-> Right click on newly created GPO and click on Edit (This will open a new window called "group Policy Management Editor).
-> Expand "Computer Configuration" -> Policies -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Session Time Limits -> Double click on "Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions" -> Select "Enabled" and Then select "Idle session limit" as per requirement. Ex: 15 min -> Click on "Apply".
-> From the same above path > Double click on "Set time limit for active Remote Desktop Services sessions" -> Select "Enabled" and Then select "Active session limit" as per requirement. Ex: 15 min -> Click on "Apply".
-> Go to the Desired OU and link the GPO from the list and hit "ok".

Additionally, for WSP workspaces I was able to find below AWS documentation that you can review as well.

I hope the above information is helpful.
