:blink: what? windows automatically locks the computer???? why? unless you mean screensaver. there is an option to lock the computer after a screensaver is started....

Are you talking about using AD to lockdown on the domain, or a local lockout?

For all who keep saying Winkey+L, that's to lock a workstation, not to lockout the user. He is talking about an account policy.

I think he's refering to the locking of the workstation (even though we are refering to a server). It's along the lines of - if you dont touch the keyboard or mouse for a pre-determined amount of time the machine automatically locks itself and prompts you to log in again when you move the mouse... just like hitting ctrl-alt-del and selecting "lock computer".

As for how to set it, I don't know... :(

if thats the case, as others have said, its tied to the screensaver. i've included a screenshot below..i'm on win2k but its in the same place. if you want it to lock faster, lower the screensaver time.
