Just curious, but what make/model of thin-clients are you using? Some, such
as the Wyse OS/Blazer devices will all you to lock the thin-client session
using the domain username/password despite the client not being part of the
domain.

 Because the clients are thin clients and don't directly authenticate on

Why don't you set the screensaver on the client instead of the server
session?

We have a number of users that access a published desktop. Because of
security concerns they have a screen saver kick in after 20 minutes of no
activate and it requires a password.



My problem is people leave and I need to shutdown their desktop session so
I shadow them and find the screen saver on. I don't have their password so I
can't gracefully close down there session. Is there a screen saver that
allows an admin to over ride it without logging off the session so I can
close their apps gracefully? Any suggestions?
