    We are running a Windows 2000 domain with over 10,000 user accounts. Have a
    GPO linked at the domain level to automatically lock systems after 15 minutes
    of idle time.

    For the most part, it has gone flawlessly. However, there are a small
    handful of users who are experiencing issues. One example is that it kicks
    off after 5 minutes. Desktop support has verified that this is indeed
    happening and not an exageration on the user's end. Another complaint is that
    it hangs their systems.

    Since it is working for almost all users I feel that the GPO is fine and
    that the issue is a desktop/user profile issue.

    Anyone experience something similar?
