Re: Differences between Windows XP Pro and Windows 2000 Pro RE: Account Logon Time Restriction and Locked workstation

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Are you talking about the items "Network security: Force logoff when
logon hours expire" and "Microsoft network server: Disconnect clients
when logon hours expire"?

They don't work despite my using them (even to this day) and I am
guessing this is because the user account has locked and password
protected his/her computer.

So still stuck with my old question, as we migrate more and more users
from Windows 2000 to Windows XP, I am learning that more and more users
lock their computers at night and generate the worthless errors
mentioned above. What is different about Windows XP that it generates
these Logon Time restriction events on our domain controllers. Doesn't
anyone monitor their DC logs and notice these too?

Another person mentioned using the winexit.scr. Can't do that either,
as we already have a group policy that activates the logon.scr with
password protection on all network computers after 15 minutes of
inactivity.
