Remotely Locking a Machine

Question

One of my users decided she didn't want to return her laptop when she quit. Of course I have disabled her AD account, etc., but I am wondering if there is a way to remotely lock her machine immediately the way it automatically locks after two weeks of inactivity. Thanks in advance!

Hi Robyn, 
 
best would be to either mark the user as "Disabled" in Active Directory and synchronize SafeGuard Enterprise with the Active Directory or flag the user with the "Blocked" flag (in the Management Center on the "Users and Computers" tab, navigate to the machine, select the User and enable the "Block User" flag) on the machine that was not returned 
 
If you select the check box in the Block User column, the user is no longer allowed to log on to the relevant computer. If the relevant user is logged on when the policy with this setting becomes active on the computer, the user is logged off. 
 
Please note, in both cases, the machine needs to synchronize with the SafeGuard Enterprise Server to pick up the change. 
 
If the SafeGuard Enterprise Specific Machine Settings policy "Access denied if no connection to the server (days) (0 = no check)" was configured, the machine refuses SafeGuard POA logon if there was no 
connection between endpoint and server for longer than the set period.
