Florian,

Woudn't that be a workstation lock and not a logout?

Yeah, that might be true. There are actually two screensavers out there
with that functionality. One for a lock of the machine, another for a
logoff. I keep confusing the two.

I wasn't sure, which was why I asked. :-)

Hello, I am ok with forcing a logoff for our labs. We use a
workstation lock for our employees. I got it to work with a registry
tweak and gpo. However, now my problem is when the monitor goes to
sleep (say it is set for 20 minutes) and I have the log off time set
for 30 minutes of inactivity, log off will not work if the monitor
goes to sleep. For now I just set the monitor sleep for after the log
off time.
