I need to lock the Windows NT Server programmatically, using VB Script or
VBA or a Windows NT Resource tool. I am looking for some directions on this
here.

Any help would be most welcome.

With VB or VBA can kick on the password protected screen saver with

Public Const WM_SYSCOMMAND = &H112
Public Const SC_SCREENSAVE = &HF140&

rc = SendMessage(Me.hwnd, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_SCREENSAVE, 0&)

To be really effective, set the ScreenSaverGracePeriod registry key to 0.

  HI ,

0302 ? Activate a password protected screensaver from an shortcut, batch, or via
 the scheduler.

 In tip 005, we were able to activate a screensaver by making it executable. We were not able to
activate
 any password protection.

 Download sslaunch.zip. This program can activate any screensaver, with or without password
protection,
 from a shortcut, batch or even the scheduler.

 If Password protection is set on the screensaver, it will activate after the defined number of
seconds.

 When run from the scheduler, use the /interactive switch. It actives the screensaver defined for
the current
 logged on user.

 The syntax is very simple: <Drive:>\Directory\savescrn.exe
