Screen Saver

[it4boni]

I have GPO to restrict the screen saver for all users. Is there a way to
create a policy exception to allow the screen saver option by computer. I
can do it for the user, however, I have acomputer in a conference room that
I would like to allow the screen saver, and I can't do it by user because
many users in the organization log-on to this machine. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Open Group Policy Display Settings
To access the screen saver settings, open the Group Policy
snap-in, and then open the Display object. To do this,
follow these steps:

Click Start, and then click Run.
Type mmc, and then click OK to start the Microsoft
Management Console (MMC).
On the Console menu, click Add/Remove Snap-ins, and then
click Add.
Click Group Policy (or click Local Policy if you want this
policy to apply only to the computer currently in use),
and then click Add.

-or-

If this will be an Active Directory policy, click Browse,
and then select the site, domain, or organizational unit
that you want this policy to apply to.
Click Close, and then click OK.
Expand User Configuration, and then expand Administrative
Templates.
Expand Control Panel, and then click Display.
In the rightmost pane, double-click the setting that you
want to configure.
Activate Screen Saver
This setting enables desktop screen savers. If the Not
Configured check box is selected, nothing is imposed on
the computer. A screen saver is used if a user or user
profile specifies one.

You can use Group Policy Loopback processing mode. This means the User
Configuration Part of the particular policy will be applied to the computer
no matter who logs on.

See Group Policy Loopback Support in Chapter 22 - Group Policy
