lockworkstation fails

[Guest]

Hi

I have a win 2k pro workstation in a novell environment. I use zenworks in combination with psshutdown.exe -l to lock my workstation after 5 minutes and this works quite well. The problem is that sometimes when my workstation locks after some amount of time it just hangs. The screen is flashing and the only thing i can do is reboot... I already installed SP4, which microsoft says, would correct the problem. Anyone has some brilliant ideas to help me?

I have 100+ workstations in a Novell environment that lock
down after 5 minutes. I have them set up through Group
Policy:

1. Run gpedit.msc

2. User Configuration/Administrative Template/Control
Panel/Display

3. Activate Screen Saver = Enabled

4. Password Protect Screen Saver = Enabled

5. Screen Saver Time Out = Enabled (300 = 5 minutes)

This works well for me.

Thanks! I'll give that a try.

Still the same flashing problem. I got no clue where it comes from. It locks fine after 5 minutes, but it starts flashing on some machines right after that...
Hope someone else recognizes the problem.
