How to Force logoff for all users using a Windows XP workstation

B

buddd

Hello,

I want to configure 1 Windows XP Pro workstation to logoff a user
after 60 minutes of inactivity.

I followed the directions in MS KB # 314999.

It actually works. Incredible!

However, it only works for the user who runs the program winexit.scr.

I don't want to have to run this program for every individual
connecting to this particular woorkstation

I would like it as a default for all users using the computer.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mark

My suggestion is not to use screensaver but scheduled tasks and system
command shutdown.exe /? (shutdown /l). Account should be set to
administrator. Task starts after 60 minutes of inactivity. IMO all of
that may be done using task scheduler.
