Hi,

I'm new to trying to learn to use Group Policies, so
forgive me if I am asking a very simple question, but I
haven't found the answer myself.
I have a Windows 2003 (SBS) domain, and I want to force
all users to log out at a certain time of night so that
when my backups run later in the evening, no files are
open on user's machines. Can I do this via GPO?

Also, I am looking for good reading materials to create
and manipulate Group Policies, so if anyone has any
helpful input, let me know.

Thanks,

Mike
