is it possible to use Winexit from the resource kit to
force user logoffs from terminal services sessions? If
so, must it be configured for each user profile or is
there a way to do it globally for "all users". TIA.

There's a better way to achieve the same result: configure a time-out
limit on idle sessions and automatically reset the expired sessions.

This is done in TS Configuration or by a Group Policy, either for all
users or on a per-user basis.

Thanks for your response Vera. My concern with your
method is that I am looking for a "graceful" logoff with
any open applications being closed. Will the time out
limit on sessions do that?

OK, good point. No, a reset will just kill all processes. But that
happens with the winexit screen saver as well:

"The Force application termination option causes programs with
unsaved data to quit. If you don't check this option, programs
without unsaved data will be terminated, but programs with unsaved
data won't terminate and the user will NOT be logged off."
