I have two Windows 2000 servers that are NOT running active directory
located in a hospital setting that need to be able to automatically log off
a user withing a specified time of inactivity. I know this can be done when
running active directory, but I need to know if this can be done without
active directory. I know there are software packages than can do this, but
they are quite spendy. If anyone has suggestions, please reply.

Thanks,

JBrown
 
You can use the winexit.scr screensaver and configure it to force applications to
close which could lead to data loss however. You may need to do a registry mod if the
user is not a local administrator. Otherwise try configuring a Scheduled Task to
enable PsShutdown /o after and idle period. PsShutdown is a free download from
SysInternals. By the way, the AD logoff does not log users off of the local
machine.--- Steve
