Hello Jerry.
Your instructions are quite good and helpful. Thanks. More questions
though.
I created the InActiveOff.cmd file and, using logon script, copied it
onto each workstations system32 folder.
I did the GroupPolicy part on the server and then ran gpupdate on the
workstation. Logged off and back on.
But the "Screen Saver" tab is still showing up on the workstation's
desktop and the InActiveOff script does not kick in after the XXXXX
number of seconds.
Also, how does this InActiveOff.cmd handle applications that are left
running on the workstation, like Word, Outlook, Excel?
Thanks
