Is it possible to create a security policy where users
are auto-logged off if their system is idle for more than
x minutes? If so, how would I go about doing it?

THanks in advance.

I think there is something.
Goto to run->type mmc
From the console-> add snap-in->group policy

Then search

I found an item called "Automatically log off users when

login time expires", and "Disconnect users when idle",
both under the security options. However when users are
granted 24x7 access to login, the first one, I think
doesn't apply. The 2nd one sounds like it deals with
terminal server/clients, which may work, but half our
users are on PCs and the other half is on terminal
clients.
 
Those settings only log the user off of the network, not local computer. You could
configure Group Policy to enable screensaver to lock a users computer after a certain
period of idleness. If it has to be logoff then you may want to look into
implementing winexit.scr from the Resource Kit. --- Steve
