Auto logoff

[jack]

I run some big tests that execute for several hours. The ideal would be to
have the computer go to sleep when finished. When I get back to it, I could
wake it and look at the results. I would even be happy to just have the
computer sit there and wait in a fully functional state. However, when it
finishes, it does an auto logoff and I lose the results.

I have set these options --
Power setting is set to Never put the computer to sleep.
Local Policies/Security Options/Network security: Force logoff when logon
hours expire is set to disabled.
Local Policies/Microsoft network server: Amount of idle time required before
suspending session is set to 99999 minutes.

Is anyone aware of any other options that might enact the logoff? Thank-you.

Hi jack,

Do you run these tests with a batch file? If so, I think that this is where
the problem lies. Examine the batch file. If you see a line saying 'shutdown
/l' then this is the instruction to logoff. Make a copy of this batch file
before you go any further. You can either delete this line or alter it to
read 'rem shutdown /l'. Alternatively, change it to read 'shutdown /h' which
will cause your machine to hibernate and power off, in which case when you
restart your machine you will return to the status of the machine prior to
hibernation. Save the modified version of the file, giving it a name which is
easily identified as the modified version. The next time you run these tests,
run this version of the batch file.
