To conform with some new security requirements, my company is implementing Group Policy solutions to existing security vulnerabilities. My current assignment is to find and implement Group Policy settings that will cause the current user session to lock after a configured period of idle time and terminate an inactive user session after a given period of time.
These settings are supposed to apply to all user sessions, local or remote, and are to be enacted in a domain environment (forest) containing a mixture of workstations and servers. I can't, for the life of me, figure out if I just glossed over some obscurely-placed setting, or if such settings even exist.
The Cut-&-Dry (with arbitrary example numbers): User sessions automatically locking after 30 minutes of inactivity. User sessions terminating after 180 minutes of inactivity. Applies to both local and remote user sessions. Is this possible via Group Policy? If so, where are these settings?
Related (but unanswered): Auto lock the screen for any user after specified period of inactivity on Windows 7
If my question needs to be split into multiple questions, please let me know via the comments. – Zach L – 2014-08-28T03:20:52.090
