Hello,

SBS2003SP1 Premium. I have a user that complains his OWA timeout is too short. I researched a bit and found it can be changed through an SBS registry change, but that would make it a global change and I don't want that. I have a feeling he leaves it open while he's on the 'Net and when he goes to check he needs to re-login, but he claims he gets up to, er, urinate and he's timed out. He also says by the time he finishes typing an email he needs to log in again.

I told him to set the logon page to "Private" and have the browser remember the password, speeding up his login time, but I have advised all other users to use the "Public" option.

Is there a way to change one users' timeout while leaving the rest as-is? I personally have no problem and apparently neither does any other user.

Tony

I have to say, I totally laughed out loud when I saw this because of a thread on another forum where I was just called a litany of names by someone who characterized my remarks as entirely condescending... as if each day wouldn't be a happy one unless I was able to demean at least one person on the Internet.

I better try harder over here. :)
