OK.... I removed the policy: "Matts OU Group Policy", I cant remove the default somain
policy... and the "automatically log offf...." setting is only in the computer configuration
setting.... doesnt seem to be in the user config setting.... Did some experimenting
though, and it seems that whatever setting I affect (in user or computer settings),
the effect seems to only take place locally... on the server itself.... i.e. "Hide
All Desktop Icons" settings will hide them all on the server only.... I notice that
when I go to edit group policy for matts ou group policy, OR for the default domain
policy, that at the top of the tree (where it says the name of the policy being edited),
its says.... in my case...: "Matts OU Group Policy [SERVER] Policy" or "Default
Domain Policy [SERVER] Policy"... ("SERVER" is the name designated for my w2k server)
so it seems that I must need to edit the policy for the other stations? Kind of
confused on how to do that though.... been through computer mgmt for them.... cant
seem to edit their settings there..... Any Ideas?... Thanks.
