Hi

If you are thinking about the GPO setting "Network security: Force logoff when
logon hours expire", that has nothing to do with a logoff of the user at his
local computer, this setting affects only the Server Message Block (SMB)
component of the server, to remove (or "logoff") connections that the user
has on the server.
