Happy new year everyone,

I have a couple of users/domain administrators who log
into XP workstations. After they are logged in for a
certain amount of time the computer will automatically
lock and of course only an admin can unlock. Is there a
way to prevent this automatic locking from happening? I've
looked at the domain security policies and couldn't find
anything that would do this. I know it's a really bad
idea from a security standpoint but I'd be grateful for
any replies. It's a Win2000 server based domain.

Thanks,
Brian Losee

If you're not enforcing policies for the screen saver timeout, check the settings there.
