I'm assuming the code above, and other things you're trying, are running on the TS session. If so I suspect the session is timing out because it generates no traffic between the TS session and the client, i.e. that's what's defined as "inactivity".

If your TS session supports file transfer, you could try periodically transferring a small file from the TS to the client (or vice versa). This would need to be a scheduled task on the client computer. I'm not sure exactly how this could be done - the TS session at the client may be sandboxed and not available to other processes on the client. OTOH maybe your app on the server could periodically try to push a small file back to the client, or read one from the client. Basically, something to try to generate traffic between the TS session and the client.
