I've searched a lot but couldn't find a direct solution. Can anyone tell me how to logoff idle users from a remote desktop connection to a Windows Server 2012 server after a period of time? These are Windows 7 clients.

Since you want to do it by GPO, the answer is the same for Server 2012 as for older Windows Server OSes.

The Group Policy settings you're interested in are located at:

Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits

User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits

You are specifically looking for the setting named Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions
