Sounds like the account is not really getting logged out—do they stay to watch 
that part?  If it is still trying to log out when the screen saver kicks on it 
could then be locking the station.  And, they probably can’t log on while it’s 
logging them out.

If you can confirm that, the question becomes, why do these machines or user 
accounts not get fully logged out?  Do you have UPHClean installed?

Subject: Strange Behavior


I have about six workstations (xp sp3 fully patches using SCE) that are 
behaving strange.

W2K3 domain (native mode)
User will log out at the end of day or lunch. Upon return to their PC they are 
logged in with screen locked (screen lock set by GPO). Have not had a chance to 
see what happens first hand. I am called because the user is unable to 
unlock/sign on. I am unable to force the user off by signing on as domain or 
local administrator. A hard boot will allow the user to sign in, but it returns.

Anybody seen anything like this?

I have been googling and searching around Sans with no luck.

TIA,
Robert
