So, how do you log off the idle sessions? Actually, it’s pretty easy with a free utility and a little Group Policy.īefore we get started, I’d like to address two of the ways I’ve seen suggested as a way to handle logging off idle user sessions. After enough users, there are enough random applications running in the background to slow the system to a crawl.
The next person sits down, clicks Switch User, logs in, and repeats the process all over. Shared computer systems in areas such as reception desks, computer labs, and call centers can be brought to their knees very quickly if users lock the workstation and walk away when their shift ends.
