Is there a way the system can log a user off if there is no activity on his / her workstation? Would this be done "by" the workstation...."by" the profile "properties"?
Any suggestions?

There is a screensaver which comes with the NT resource kit which allows you to do this. Follow the following steps to install it on your workstations:

1. Install the Windows NT Resource Kit onto a workstation.

2. On the workstation that you want this functionality on, locate the Winexit.scr file in the NTreskit folder on the machine where you installed the NT reskit.

3. Right-click the Winexit.scr file, and then click Install.

Set all the various times, and values that you require.

Hope this helps your.
Regards.

I just found an article which says that if your run this screen saver on a machine when not logged in as Admin, the screen saver may not work.

If this happens to you, have a look at the Technet article for the fix: Q156677
The article can be found by going to www.microsoft.com, and do a search for the article number above.
Good luck.

Also keep in mind that there are several versions of the NT resource kit! They all come with MS Technet, so get hold of it!
