How to lock the workstation after 10 Minutes idle time, automatically?

[Sina]

Hello All,

how can I lock the windows Nt 4.0 workstation if the computer has been idle for 10 minutes?.

I know about the feature in the screan saver but that is not an option since I can not unlock the workstation with admin ID, unless I reboot.

Any Idea?
Basically I like to run a script as a service or something to lock the workstation after 10 minutes of idle time.

Thank you all.
Sina

Sina, I know you asked about locking a workstation after some given idle time, but have you considered autodisconnect as an option? I have not used it myself, but you might check it out. Try
net help net config server

Just a pure guess

Thanks for the reply.

The case is that the managment wants to be able to have the workstation of the users autolock after the walk away from their workstation and don't bother to lock.

You know what I mean.

that is why I'm looking for a way to implement this using perl or something.

Also there is no autodisconnect.

Thanks I keep looking. Please let me know if you find something.
Thanks
