[ActiveDir] Weird GPO question

[Narkinsky, Brian]

We are trying to develop a GPO to enforce a screensaver/workstation locking.  We have it working fine as long as we apply it to the Users OU.  However here is the problem.   We want to enforce this policy by machine.  We have lots of laboratory equipment that people watch the screen “hands off”   SO we don’t want these machines locking.  I thought if I applied the GPO to an OU with computer accounts in it the users would pick up the settings when they logged onto that machine.  But the only way they pick it up is if I apply it to the users OU.    SO how do I make a user setting apply to a group of machines? I was thinking of modifying the templates so the the Screen Saver settings are in the machine section.  But am I missing something here.   Forgive me if I sound/am terribly confused.   Brian       Brian Narkinsky System Manager Department of Environmental Protection MS 6520 2600 Blairstone RD Tallahassee, FL 32399 phone (850)245-8314 fax (850)412-0400
