I've had a "suggestion" from my CIO. :-) He would like to use GP to enforce that all domain computers have a screensaver (set to like 15 minutes), and that the screensaver is password enabled. He didn't seem to care which screensaver, as long as one is set.
(these are all Win 7 PCs, BTW) I see the options in User Config/Policies/Admin Templates/Control Panel/Personalization that I can Enable Screen saver and password protect the screen saver. But if I read it right, I either have to specify which screen saver to use, or depend on the user to pick one. So what happens if I choose Enable screen saver: ENABLED Password protect the screen saver: ENABLED screen saver timeout: 900 seconds and the user does *not* set a screensaver? If I use the above settings, do I really also need to force a specific screen saver, so that I can be sure that at least a passworded screen saver is set? What do the rest of you do? I'm assuming at least some of you enforce passworded screensavers. Thanks for any advice.
