My GPO is as follows: Activate Screen Saver: Enabled Screen Saver EXE Name: NOT CONFIGURED Password Protect Screen Saver: Enabled Screen Saver Timeout: Enabled (1200 sec)
That config will allow the user to choose their own screen saver but not allow them to change the lock screensaver feature or the timeout. If no screen saver is defined (none) then it uses a blank screen. -Alex -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rosales, Mario Sent: Thursday, September 02, 2004 11:08 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] GPO Question I have used WMI from pulling data. Where can I read about doing this to GPO's? Is this through an external script?

One option would be to set up a second GPO that specified a particular screen saver, and then use a WMI filter to only apply that GPO to users who had not chosen anything for a screen saver. Hunter -----Original Message----- From: Rosales, Mario [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 02, 2004 10:14 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] GPO Question Thanks!!! That helped out! But now I have another question In the Screen Saver Section of the GPO: Screen Saver is enabled but no executable is specified, time is set. I know that if you do not have a screen saver specified in the configuration, the screen saver setting will not be enabled unless there is a selection made in the display properties Question: Is there a way to get the screen saver enabled where it will not override default screen savers already in place and/or get rid of the NONE option in the Screen Saver so when we enable this through policy it will be enabled Please help!

For example set it for 20 Minutes? I know how to do it through the registry but I still cannot see where I can do that through the GPO's. Well I can see where to add a registry entry but is there an easier way? Any help would be appreciate it.
