Tell the administrators to logoff and not lock the computer. If this is
happeneing automatically , use the Winexit.scr screensaver from the Resource
Kit that has the ability to log off a user after a period of inactivity
instead of locking. Locking a computer can also be disabled in Group Policy,
but of course a user with domain administrator rights could reverse that
change. A reboot will also allow a user to logon - not the best solution but
can be done if needed. --- Steve
