I dont want the logon to show the name of the last user that logged in / How do I auto log a user off after 3 hours.
After a user loggs out.. If sombody else goes to log in the name of the last person that logged in shows up in the login field.
Im useing server 2003.
How do you remove this so it is blank?
Part 2...
If a user forgets to LOG OFF, I dont mind the system locking it self... but after say 2-3 hours I want them to be forced to log off and the computer to return to the log in screen.
How is this done.
2 part question So I say 500pts :)

Is there a place I can go in the group policy edditor to tell it log off after x amount of inactive time?
i remember that in GPO you have option to log user off after logon hour expire not after x amount of idle time
try winexit.scr and see if it fits your need.
and you can set logon hour from dsa.msc

I would like to stay away from a screen saver type command...
I was hoping the SEVER would log off the users and force the client to go back to the log in screen. Is this posable?

OK I think I can do it
On my NETWORK SERVER I am currently in:
Configuration>Windows Settings>Security Settings> then rightclick on Registry and select Add Key
and in the registyr im in
HKEY_Local_Machine\Softwar
ONCE on the key I gave DOMAIN USERS FULL CONTROLL as it stated in your recomendation thread.
Now how do I set up the policy on my server to foce them to use that screen saver.
