auto logoff after inactivity in domain

[larynx1982]

I have a Windows SBS 2003 domain controller with Windows XP clients, I'm looking for a way to automatically logoff users after a certain period of inactivity. I found one way (

but it requires configuration on the clients which I don't want to do because they can just remove it.

Is there any other way to accomplish this?

Not if you use a GPO to configure it, and remove the ability for them to change the screen saver.

I rather do it through a GPO, is there other way to do this?

Not really. GPO is the best way.
