How can I configure group policy to allow domain admins to unlock pcs without logging the user out?

Hi all,

We're using Server 2003 on our domain controller and have a mix of XP and W2K workstations.  How can I configure group policy to allow domain admins to unlock pcs without logging the user out?  I'm assuming this is done through group policy, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thank you!

I did this at my last company so maybe I'm not explaining it well.  I just want to be able to unlock a locked machine so that the user is still logged on.  Basically overriding the lock.  You hit ctrl-alt-del, input your admin info and it's as if the user unlocked it.

Maybe they did have a 3rd party program.  I'll check with the admins at my old company to see what they used.  I assumed it was a group policy option.

Thanks greatly for your help!
