Prevent Logging off of Remote Desktops

 How to prevent Remote Desktops and physical machine from logging off     

The problem with Remote machines when accessed through citrix is that it tends to log off if the machine is unattended for sometime . As per my research there a few ways to prevent the machine from logging off but the one which I found very convenient was with the use of  a tool called MouseMove .

MouseMove

This application sends mouse simulation at stipulated time interval to prevent the system from logging off. Inorder for the whole procedure to work the mouse simluation should be target towards the remote machine by doing this 2 things can be achieved

1. Prevents the physical machine from Logging off ( This happens anyways as any mouse activity keeps the physical machine alive )
2. Prevents the remote machine from loggin off if targeted properly.

Another cool feature is that you can choose the application on which the mouse stimulation can take effect.

Finally this tool is tailored for applications which uses hotkeys during automation run and batch runs.As this tool does not use any keys unless configured at the beginning.Follow the link http://movemouse.codeplex.com/ to download the application and the best part is it is FREE !!
