Right, you can't remove the default Domain policy. Just make sure you've edited
it to remove any changes you made regarding these log off settings. My big disadvantage
in trying to help you troubleshoot this is not having AD installed on my server so
I'm trying to do this from memory. Once you've reset all policies edit one on the
OU you wish to apply it to. I thought the "automatically log off user..." setting
was in both computer and user configuration but I guess I was wrong. Since it only
applies to computers I'm not sure it'll work how you want it to. I'm going to be
able to lab this out tomorrow so I'll quickly check once I'm working on an AD integrated
DC and I'll get back to you with my results then. Before an applied policy will
take effect you have to allow time for replication to happen. The secedit /refreshpolicy
command only works locally, and won't affect other PC's or users until replication
has taken place between your DC's. Replication can take up to about 15 minutes by
default but can be forced in AD Sites. Since this is a computer configuration setting
the correct secedit command is as follows: secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy.
