Hello,
History:
In my company we've decided to remove the screen saver tab from the general
population due to the fact that our clients were disabling their screen
savers and then of course claiming their machines were not secure.
To this end we placed a group policy assigning a basic screen saver along
with a set time out and locking capability.
We are running W2K-sp2 on our servers and our desktops are running Windows
XP-SP1.
Problem:
The problem is that for some reason only some of the clients are getting
this policy applied on their machines in the form that the screen saver is
not being locked. They are getting the right screen saver and the screen
saver tab is successfully removed. On other machines the policy comes down
with no issues as designed.
Gpresult shows no issues and correct OU and policy are applied but the
screen savers are still not locking after the set time.
Hopefully I painted an accurate picture what is happening or not happening
here. Any comments/suggestions are most welcome and I appreciate you taking
the time to read this thread.
Regards,
Scott R
