Screen Saver time out

[Guest]

HI... can you tell me please how i can use group policy or my active
directory to disable the time out settings in the domain user's screen saver
tap.
i have windows 2000 advcanced server domain and all my domain users use
windows xp with sp1, i want to set the time for their screen savers without
forcing any screen saver, i think we can only fix the time in group policy if
we forced a screen saver which i don't want to do. my aim is to set the time
out only and forbid the users from changing it.
thanks for your help

There is no way to do that.

You can reset it to your value in the logon script

See tip 9315 » How can I use a logon script to force users to configure any screen saver they wish?
