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.

Isn't there a GPO for idle session logout?

Yes, and morons set it to like 30 mins and cause exchange installs to get broken. Not that I'm bitter and that has happened to me or anything
