The GPO is not very well named. Enabling the GPO setting does not actually perform a log off as such. Instead it disconnects the client session with the Server Message Block (SMB) component of the Windows 2000 server. In other words, it's more of a disconnect than a log off.

Doing some searching on technet, and google, I have found no real answer to the problem. If I do a 'net accounts' from the command prompt, I see 'Force user logoff how long after time expires: 0' Has anyone run across a solution for this?
