Anyone using Windows desktop Lockdown?

Looking at MC for managing some Windows desktop devices that are external to our AD domain network.  The lockdown seems a little immature at this point though.  You can specify an auto login userID but the lockdown doesn't prevent signing out or switching users and the lockdown only logs in on boot.  Signing out will just dump you out to a login page rather than re-logging back in.
It also seems that if you specify a "user" as the auto login account that you can run task manager (and start things) but if you specify an admin that you cannot run task manager.  I would normally assume that I want a nonAdmin user as the auto login but it doesn't seem that way works very well.  Unfortunately the SOTI docs (that I can find) are silent on these issues.  Anyone already done this or have any insight?

Hello Scott,

The current implementation just fills in registry with the given login options and the login/logout is totally controlled by windows itself.  Task manager is disabled for both manager and non-admin account in lockdown user mode, and enabled in lockdown admin mode. 

We were unable to replicate the issue on our end, the next step would be to create a case for this and allow our support team to investigate this as it seems this may be a bug. 

Regards,
