I have a Win2K3 Server and we need to keep the administrator logged in 24/7
365. But Windows is auto logging off admin every night. We run a few
stand-alone server apps that do NOT run as services. (billing and proxy).

How can we disable the auto log off feature that must be enabled somewhere?

No need to worry about security since the screen saver will protect the
admin account.

Currently we need a supervisor to visit the office every morning before any
of the workers can start !!!

Please help, Thanks.

Hey Peter,

By default, Windows will not auto log off administrators, but will only Lock
the screen (and the background process will still be running).

Maybe one of your admins setup a auto log off mechanism?
