title: stop my idle remote desktop session form being logged out on windows server 2012 r2
body: <p>I'm running performance tests from a virtual windows 2012 r2 server. 
  Tests take several hours to run, if my remote desktop session is disconnected or idle for more than ~30 minutes, then when I reconnect using mstsc.exe I login again and my existing session is either logged out at that point, or has expired during the intervening period. </p>
  
  <p>I've used gpedit.msc On the server to set the Idle session timeout for remote desktop to never and restarted the server - But I'm still seeing the same behavior. Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Note: 
  I'm not an admin on the server, normal user with some extra permissions.</p>
  
  <p>I've enabled the "Set time limit for disconnected sessions" and set it to "Never" under 'Computer Configuration' - Help suggests this is the dominant setting, and there's no overriding group policy.  </p>
