Auto disconnect clients after specific idle time?

[Steffen Rieke]

Hello newsgroup,

is there any way to disconnect clients from my Windows 2000 Professional
server after a specific idle time?
The problem is: the server is in use as a print server. If some other
employees in our company printed their documents, the other one aren't
able to connect after a while. The only reason by now is to disconnect
idle sessions manually...

Thanks in advance,
Steffen

have you tried with NET CONFIG SERVER /AUTODISCONNECT:<TIME> ?

thanks for your reply,

i have tried that now but it seems to me that it didn't help.
right now i have a user who is connected 38 minutes and his idle time is
37 minutes.
do you know another solution?

Use a server operating system where the number of connections will not be an
issue.

indeed, that would solve the problem. but try to explain that to my boss
okay, thank you two for your answers. i guess i really go for another OS
(maybe a linux distro, so that licensing costs doesn't matter).
