Hi, we use windows 2008 R2 domain and windows xp sp3, windows 7 clients. is there any method to log off users after 20 min. idle time? thanks aurimas

I'd suggest using the native Windows screen saver to trigger the logoff event. This will require that you prevent the user's from modifying their own screen saver. 1. Create a simple shell script (batch file) that contains a single line "logoff" 2. Name the script somethin like SCRNSAVE-logoff.cmd 3. Place the script within the %WINDIR% directory 4. Ensure all users have only 'R'ead permission Configure the following registry key and valuefor each user (this can be done via script or policy or ...) - KEY = HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop VALUE = SCRNSAVE.EXE VALUE TYPE = REG_SZ DATA = %windir%\SCRNSAVE-logoff.cmd This is working perhaps a little too well for me right now, each time I return to the VM to verify I've correctly relayed the configuration the machine has already logged off ... darn it, there it goes again :o)
