Here is a script to force this at logon: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q262625&ID=KB;EN-US;Q262625

Generally the num lock state will be the same as when you last logged of the account.
Click Start Menu-->> Run -->> Type regedit <hit enter>
And then go to this registry key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard
-Double click on InitialKeyboardIndicators
-Type 2

But - you would have to do this for each user.
