I am trying to find a way to auto log-off a user after they have been idle for X number of minutes. Any ideas on how to do this?

Go to Microsoft Technet and look up this reference:
Winexit.scr: Windows Exit Screen Saver
It logs a user off after a specific period of inactivity.

I have the same problems with my users. Before resorting to group policies to force logoff, I simply set their screen saver to lock the desktop, which only allow my LAN Administrator or them to log back on. Let me know what you think.

You should try using ScreenPass.net. It's a software that extends the capability of the standard windows workstation lock.
