Hello,

this is not really a security issue, but more a functionnal issue.
Roaming profile won't get updated, as it is updated at logoff.

We use a vbscript to reboot stations, which force logoff on the way.
You may change the code to only logoff without shutting down the pc
Are you intereseted in ?

Is there any security threat to the following ?
  - windows xp2 is locked (have to enter Ctrl+Alt+Del)
  - servers setup to disconnect users at 10:00 PM

For electricity savings reasons we are starting to request users
logoff and shutdown at the end of the day.  Right now we have users
who forget to logoff, but their PC will go to the Windows XP locked
screen.  If we are in the wrong forum please let us know to repost.

Mr. Chateau,

We are interested in anything to get staff to exit the network. I
almost forget we have files synching at logoff to their directory and
if they never logoff..... We have Altiris and tried assigning a job
to restart at 10:00 PM, but when users do shutdown they would come in
the next day and after powering on the computer they are greeted by
the same shutdown job that powers off their computer. At first we
were looking for software. We would welcome a script to somehow
remove users from the network at a certain time.
