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.

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.
 
    Matt
