This is happenning on all workstations. There is no screensaver enabled
on any of them.

If it were simply locking the workstation, all apps that had been
running would still be running after re-entering the password, and it
would come up immediately. But this is a complete logoff, with a
pull-down list for the choice of domain or local machine to logon to,
and it runs the logon script again after entering the password.

Does anyone know whether a forced logoff after a specific amount of idle
time is a configurable group policy, or otherwise set on a domain-wide
level somewhere within SBS?
