Lock Computer On Citrix?? GOOD or BAD???

[bran2235]

Does anyone know if it is ok to allow my users to "lock computer" when they leave their desk?

We are using Thin-Clients connecting to:
MF XPe SP3 FR3 on Win2k Svr SP3


Any advice would be great!!

I currently have that option disabled via my GPO...


Thanks!!!

Should be fine Brandon. In fact I would insist they do. If they don't then I have seen places where naughty e-mails get sent on their behalf. They soon learn.

The biggest problem I've noticed with this is that our users complain that they have to log in again. But they will always complain about passwords unless they don't have any.
I'm not sure if we do this anymore, but for a while we were actually automatically disconnecting (not logging off) users that were idle for more than an hour.

Thanks Scott and vectorgod...
Yeah, we have ours set to log off users after being idle for more than 60 mins.

I'll try it out and see what happens!!

Thanks!
