Hi, we're having a small problem with remote desktop. If someone remotes into the office pc but then the connection is lost before they log out again, the pc locks with that user still logged in and the only way to fix this is to resart the machine, is there a way to set that if the connection is lost the user is automatically logged off please?

How often is this happening? I would be willing to bet it's not because they're loosing the connection but rather because they're terminating their session without logging off.
To my knowledge there is no way to automatically do what you are wanting, but someone else may no something I don't.
Also keep in mind anyone with admin privileges can unlock the computer.
