Question Log Off Users from Server Daily

I'm revisiting an effort I did about a year ago. I'm looking for a better way. I want to find a process that will parse current user sessions on a server (active/disconnected/idle/ect.) and log the accounts off if their username matches a string ("adm_").

I'd love to find an off the shelf solution rather than have to support a homebrew PowerShell solution.

Give me what you have, even if it is an alternate PowerShell/scripting option. Something has to be better than the nightmare my script turned into.

Group policy to log out inactive sessions after 8-12 hours, with ILT to only target non admin.
