Terminal services session times out

I have a server 2003 run terminal services with a 5 user license. In 3 remote
different locations I am running XP home and XP Pro. I have installed all of
the lates critical updates as well.

I can connect, login and everything works fine. However if I leave the
session inactive for about 15 minutes, the session produces a login screen
requesting that I log back in. As a result of the logout, my program is
locked up and the only thing I can do is to reset the session which results
in data corruption.

I have found a few articles that talk about increasing the KeepAliveEnable
value in the registry, but I can't find that key, nor do I know if it will
work.

If you can send a reply to my email address, that would be very helpful as
well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

What you describe is simply a password-protected screen saver which
is activated in the session after an idle time of 15 minutes. No
need to enable KeepAlives (which sometimes fixes a problem where a
router disconnects the session when there is no traffic, but that's
not your issue).

Presumably, you have a policy which enforces a password-protected
screen saver, and this policy is also applied to the users when
they logon to the Terminal Server.
You have to make sure that the TS gets another policy, which
disables the screen saver in a rdp session.
Where exactly you should do this is diffivult to say without
knowing anuthing about your domain and GPO structure.
