I have a situation where I just set up some Dell thin clients that are direct connecting to some VMs that are running the VMware Direct Connect Plugin. At 6:30AM they auto power on and if they are not used throughout the day come 4:30PM their sessions are closing. I want them to stay in session until I auto power them off at 10:00PM. In the log file I find this:
2015-08-20T16:31:16.080-05:00 DEBUG (04C4-087C) <Session Poll Thread> [wsnm_xmlapi] Did not find feature lastUserActivity for sessionId=1
2015-08-20T16:31:16.080-05:00 DEBUG (04C4-087C) <Session Poll Thread> [wsnm_xmlapi] Idle timer for sessionId=1 = 36047 seconds
2015-08-20T16:31:16.080-05:00 DEBUG (04C4-087C) <Session Poll Thread> [wsnm_xmlapi] sessionId=1 detected as idle, disconnecting all sessions
In the group policy I've set sessionTimeout=99999 and userIdleTimeout=-1. So at 6:30AM I'm seeing this in the log file:
2015-08-20T06:30:31.061-05:00 DEBUG (02F8-0B4C) <2892> [pcoip_mfw] VMware HKLM 'Agent\Configuration\XMLAPI' policy values at start of pcoip_server_win32: sessionTimeout=99999;userIdleTimeout=-1
Can someone suggest some other setting I'm missing to keep these sessions alive?
Thanks
