Hi Gang,
We have a customer who would like to have a policy that would ask for the user name and password say every 2 hours or so. Is this possible via GPO's in our Small Business Server?
 
I don't know of any such policy: the system is built to not have to do that. The closest thing I can think of is to ask for authentication after idle time, and setting the screensaver with password after 3 minutes idle time might be the best you can do.

Even setting Kerberos ticket expiration policies ( doesn't usually create a need for a user to actually re-authenticate, it merely causes more background activity while tickets are expired and renewals are processed using the original login credentials.
