Why are the network services tied to login sessions on my machine? I mean,
login token invalidation is an interesting problem in general, but every place
I’ve worked in the past 10 years, my desktop is not the place where secure
things are stored, the services I access are. (And those services are
increasingly SaaS and use something like SAML with the directory server for
the company.) None of which needs a login token associated in any
with them. You either figure 
 out how to use the computer they give you, or you don't, in which subject why 
 should they use you? Computers are a basic skill.

 AD / LDAP facilitate this. It can also automate standard settings like net
