AD Group policy allows you to force a logout after x amount of time, or you can enforce a screensaver , with passwords if you choose, or the logon password. However this method is not looked upon well as it can be more of a pain then good. - Nick -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Crape [mailto:matthew.crape () ofa on ca] Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2003 3:39 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Automatically locking workstations Greetings all, Please excuse me if this question has been asked before (I didn't see it in the archives), but is there some sort of policy setting that I can enable in a Win2k AD environment which automatically locks a computer after a preset timed amount of inactivity? If failing that, does anyone have any suggestions on how to achieve something similar? Thanks.
