I have some users that are having their terminal server screens go
black after about 2 minutes of inactivity. They then have to close and
reconnect. Is there anything that I can do to extend the time before
the black screen hits??
 
There are three possible causes for inactivity time-outs:

* a time-out limit configured on the rdp-tcp connection, in
Terminal Services Configuration
* a screen saver on the Terminal Server
* a router between your clients and your server, which sees no
traffic and decides that the session must have ended and throws it
out.

Since this happens after only 2 minutes of idle time, my guess is
that it is a router. The solution in that case is to enable
KeepAlives. For the correct registry key, check:
