Need information about windows 2000?

Question

I have windows 2000 server in my office. Some of our clients r not
doing proper shutdown. So is there any option to automatically Lock
the client system when they r not using? so other client cannot use
that system. If yes, how to configure that option in server. Plz
give me the reply

Answer 1

you can define policy for users so that system screen will get locked after 5 minutes or so.
to do so chek gpedit.msc,
dont forget to define this policy on domain level

Answer 2

Hi you can set up group policy on the server to lock the client computer but why not configure the client systems. You can simply change the desktop/laptop settings to lock the computer if it is ideal for certian amount of time.

And I am sure you know how to do it, so no point of explaining it.

Thanks

Answer 3

Screensaver with a password perhaps. Pretty easy to setup and works well. The login screen can be set to autolock after a set amount of time. Just force everyone to use passwords and get people to log off instead of shutting down. A program still is around called WinExit which works pretty well. Else upgrade to XP :P

Answer 4

Dear,

No need of grabbing information regarding Windows 2000,as u know that Microsoft launched Windows 2000 mainly for networking purposes and found lots of unwanted errors/bugs happening to windows 2000,so microsoft is not at all providing any support for Windows 2000 presently. So no use of grabbing information on a support banned product.It wont be useful for u in any means...
