Locking workstation with Group Policy - workstation ignores the timeout setting

Hi everybody,

I'm having problems locking workstations with the "rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation" trick in Active Directory. I have set the timeout to 1800 seconds.

It seems to work just fine for the majority of users but a couple of users have this same issue. Some users experience the timeout after only 2 minutes. We have tried gpupdate /force, restarting the workstation, but still the problem persists. Has anybody seen this before?
