Automated remote desktop session time limit

[Ajelvani]

Right now im running windows 10 enterprise on a vm using hyper-v. On this vm, i want a user to be able to connect with a code or password and then be automatically disconnected after 2 hours. I would like the 2 hour timer to run even when the users not connected. Also, i want a new code or password to be generated and set after the 2 hour time limit is up. How exactly would i do this?

I think you can set up time limits like that in parental controls. I _know_ you can do it using active directory group policies, but that's probably more complicated.

Not sure about the auto-new-password-generation thing. Probably a script kicked off by a scheduled task - when the user logs in (or logs out?), it automatically generates them a new password.

There's probably other ways to do that - just off the top of my head, you know?

I would really appreciate if someone could help me as this would require programming maybe an application that would run in the backrground. I dont really know how to program so someone help. Thanks

Do you really need to change the password every time? If you just want to set a 2 hour per day limit, you can do that with parental controls, no programming required.

Well i dont want a client to reconnect again. Its a paid service and the password needs to change everytime a user connects

Oh, that jogged my memory - this is that paid VM access thing you're working on.

Set up an Active Directory environment and use group policy. Each paying customer can get their own user account, password, etc., with time limits to access. You don't need to program anything, but there's still some learning curve.

Good luck.

Another way to do it - if some trappable event happens when the user gets booted off at 2hrs (event log?), then set a powershell script to attach to that event and change the password.

Is the 2 hour time limit to start at the time the user logs on?
