Keyboard lockout on Windows 2003 Server After Period of No Keyboard Activity

After about 20 minutes of inactivity, I am locked out of Windows 2003 Server and have to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to login again. How do I increase the interval and/or remain permanently logged in?

Try this:
- type "gpedit.msc" at command prompt
- open Computer Config\windows settings\security settings\local policies\security options
- choose "Microsoft network server: Amount of idle time required before suspending session"
- modify the time to as long as want

But I recommend to keep the server locked every 10 or 15 minute for security purpose.

Yes, thanks to ithawaii. I hadn't come across this policy yet...
But nhdigital, you should contact an EE administrator to reward your points to the correct person, OK?
Thanks

Give credit where credit is due.  ;o)
Have contacted customer service to switch points.
