No script needed - just create a GPO:<\/p>\n
User Configuration\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Terminal Services\\Terminal Server\\Session Time Limits<\/p>\n
Enable “Set Time Limit for Disconnected Sessions” and set your desired time limit<\/p>\n
Also enable: Computer Configuration\\Administrative Templates\\System\\Group Policy\\User Group Policy Loopback processing mode ← this makes it so the user configuration above only applies when the user logs into the computers within the OU that this policy is applied to.<\/p>\n
Apply this GPO to the OU containing your Citrix Servers and you should be all set.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2012-12-06T18:08:25.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/citrix-force-log-off-script/180874/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"mikeball7288","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/mikeball7288"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Hi Michael,<\/p>\n
Thanks for the quick follow up. The problem is that if I set it at the GP level, it will log off all disconnected sessions. This will work for some of our apps and not so good for the rest.<\/p>\n
For example, we have a published application that consists of a procurement spreadsheet that a user may have been working on entering in many rows of requisition data and if they get disconnected for some reason, they will loose all the data entered.<\/p>\n
This is why I’d like to be able to control the log off at the published application level, not the server level. Does that make sense?<\/p>\n

I am running Citrix PS 4.5 with 5 servers on the farm. Is there a script that can be run from a client machine that will log them off of that session. The reason is because users like to X out and it leaves that ghost session on the server side, then they try to reopen and it pulls up the old hung session.
Thanks!

I’m sure scripting the log-off is possible, although I’m not sure how productive it would be. I have always controlled the problem you presented through a combination of group policies and user training. Scripting it at the client end would be a can of worms I wouldn’t want to open.
There is this link that I found that could help, it speaks of a client app that will disable the “X” I’m not sure if it will work with 4.5 but you could always give it a shot (if you haven’t already).
