If you enable auditing of "account logon" events in Domain Controller
Security Policy for success and failure and auditing of "logon" events for
failure only and then enable auditing of logon events in Domain Security
Policy you would see domain logons in the security logs of domain
controllers for domain users and also see logon events in the security log
of the domain workstation that the user logs onto and also a logon events
when the user unlocks his computer.
To force users to logoff you could try using the Resource Kit logoff
screensaver called winexit.scr to logoff a users computer after a certain
period of inactivity though offhand I don't know how well it would work if
the computer is locked but would be easy enough to test out. You could use
Group Policy to configure the winexit.scr screensaver and use Group Policy
"startup" script to distribute it to their computers. Winexit.scr would have
to first be configured to shut down the user's applications before it is
distributed to the user's computers which may result in a loss of data. You
also could have a computer use policy that requires users to logoff their
computer at the end of a work shift and use the information in the security
log of their workstation for disciplinary purposes if they do not
