Force logoff

Is there a setting in the Account Policy to automatically log-off a user when
they are outside of their allowed log-on times? I thought I set that, but
there's one machine that's not logged off. Is it because they need to log
out and log back in for the policy to take effect?

Thanks.
 
Yes, you can set 'Automatically log off users when logon time expires' in:
Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local
Policies/Security Options.

However, if this policy is working on other machines, it is already set. On
the problem machine, try forcing a policy refresh with secedit.exe:

Well, the Group Policy setting is done on the server. But secedit is run on
the client - ie. I'm thinking that the policy has not been applied to the
problem machine and you need to force a refresh.

This DOES NOT log the user off the network, it simply keeps them from
accessing anything on the network after the "logon time" expires.
