Thread: How to inactivity Console lock after 15 minutes

Console lock after 15 minutes of inactivity?

I want to lock the console if it has had 15 minutes of inactivity. This excludes ssh sessions, only console users. Does anyone know of such a program that will either lock the console or log the user off? Either would work.

You can set that up in Group Policy, you'll have to create a group and add the console users to that group in Active Directory then run the group policy on that group. You can set the time if you want to change it to whatever you like. Your users will have to reboot or you'll have to write a script for gp update /force. This is all assuming you're running a Windows 2000/2003/2008 server on your network and it's what you're looking for.
