I have enabled the domain group policy in Server 2003 to forcibly disconnect our Windows XP users at a specific time each evening. I was hoping there would be a warning displayed on their PCs 5 or 10 minutes prior to the disconnection, but for some reason there isn't.

Is there any way to configure the server to display an advance warning?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Not... not remote users. Connected to our 2 W2K3 domain controllers.

Office workers connected to our domain who stay after hours... beyond the allowable logon hours.

you can write a simple batch file/script that would send a netsend message to all users that can be run through "scheduled tasks" on the server.

Yes... I think that's what I'll end up having to do. I appreciate your input.
