I have a little problem...My Win2K Pro PC's on a full 2000 Server Network with Active Directory installed go into "locked Computer mode" on their own after a user has left their workstation for awhile. Is this a feature of Win2000. It doesn't happen on a 2000 peer to peer network I have or a Win2K Pro on a Nt 4.0 member Server network I have.
