Is there something in the group policy that I can set a timer on each user's
computer to log the computer off if the computer is idle for a number of
hours?
 
This was discussed around 6 months ago in this newsgroup

Apparently he wasn't here 6 months ago. Would you kindly answer his
question if you know the answer.

Bob,

You cannot get idle time with Task Scheduler. Besides, if you have a non Windows XP
machine your idea will fail
 
Newbie,

Try this, open Scheduled tasks, double click on a task , Schedule tab,
click the "Schedule Task" pulldown. and select "When Idle".

Also this group IS Windows XP, if they want a solution for a non Windows
XP machine, they should post to the correct group.

Click to expand...

AFAIR yes. There're some screensavers that can lock the desktop or
logoff user. Use google to find... ;)
