Auto Log out

[Elaine]

How do you force a user to quit programs and log out of
Windows 2000 after a period? I have found an artical which
details how it can be done in XP. (Microsoft Knowledge
Base Article - 314999) Does anyone know how it can be done
in 2K?

Hmm...I realize that the article states that it applies to XP (and the title
says the same), but since the screen saver in question is part of the
Windows 2000 Resource Kit, shouldn't it work on 2000 as well?

Actually, according to 156677, it's part of the NT resource kit too.

You can also set a scheduled task for each user to run psshutdown from
www.sysinternals.com when the computer has been idle for a certain amount of
time.

Of course, if you're looking for a -=code=- solution (from a *.developer
newsgroup), the GetIdleTime() should be of interest to you.
