I got a little bit different result. The steps I used are (1) Open "Avtive Directory Users and Computers" -> "User" -> select a user such as "Administrator" (2) In Properties windows , select "Sessions" tab and then change "Active session limit" (3) Then the UserParametes attribute was added to the user object, the value is something like userParameters: PCtxCfgPresent????CtxCfgFlags1????CtxShadow????*CtxMinEncryptionLevel?" UserParameters attribute is used for storing user specific data for individual programs, such as RAS and Terminal Service. I just want to make sure we are looking at the same tool. Thanks!

Could you add some docs on it at some stage? Not a really high priority, but we would eventually like to be able to offer admin tools that manage things like session activity timeouts, and it seems that we need to know how to parse and create userParameters to do that. An example userParameters attribute from w2k8r2 (in base64 form) is this: userParameters:: Q3R4Q2ZnUHJlc2VudCAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgI CAgUAsaCAFDdHhDZmdQcmVzZW5045S15pSx5oiw44GiIAIBQ3R4V0ZQcm9maWxlUGF0aOOAsBgCAU N0eFdGSG9tZURpcuOAsCICAUN0eFdGSG9tZURpckRyaXZl44CwEggBQ3R4U2hhZG9344Sw44Cw44C w44CwLggBQ3R4TWF4RGlzY29ubmVjdGlvblRpbWXjgaXjjLnjkLDjgLAoCAFDdHhNYXhDb25uZWN0 aW9uVGltZeOAtOOct+aIseOAsBwIAUN0eE1heElkbGVUaW1l44Gj45yy46Sw44CwIAIBQ3R4V29ya 0RpcmVjdG9yeeOAsBgIAUN0eENmZ0ZsYWdzMeOAsOOBpuOYsuOAuCICAUN0eEluaXRpYWxQcm9ncm Ft44Cw the above came from using the windows user admin tool to change the session activity timeout for a test user. Michael Ströder has also pointed out this page: http://daduke.org/linux/userparameters.html which documents a previous effort by the Linux thin client community to work out the format of userParameters. I'm guessing the strange encoding is used to try to keep the attribute as valid UTF8. If you can confirm that the attribute is always valid UTF8 that would be great (as otherwise we might corrupt it during replication with windows). As I mentioned, this is not a high priority, but it would be nice to know the format at some stage.
