Barry,
You might play around with this command
The following command will lock a workstation:

%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

Create a Scheduled Task using the following in a batch file or add the batch
file to a logon script to automatically create the scheduled task on the
workstation.:

schtasks /create /RU "" /tn "Lock Workstation" /tr
"%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll",LockWorkStation /sc onidle /i 30

Change the 30 to 5, if 30 minutes is too long

Is there a way to automatically log off a user from a client workstation
if there is no activity for say 5 minutes.

Our software ActiveExit can do that (or lock the computer, or restart it):

You can use it for free for 30 days and see if it works well enough for
your needs.
