Hi,

As my subject line says, I'm looking to set a term
services idle timer for certain machines. I don't care how
long people are idle on their own machines, but when
they're on certain servers I'd like them kicked off after a
certain amount of time.

I know how to set this timer for users but I can't seem to
find a way to set it for machines. Can this be done? I'm
trolling technet and support but so far I haven't found a
solution.
 
There's no native way to do this.

You might be able to do this with a bit of fancy scripting.
Write a script that runs continuously on the terminal server, and
that queriess all connections and their state. Parse the output to
detect idle sessions. Then query that session to find the
originating client. If it is in your list of clients that should
be thrown out, reset the session.

Messy at best, but it could work, I guess.
