Do you have all 3 of these enabled?

 

 

 

If no screensaver is selected on the computer the timeout will not
apply.  If you set the policy as above, if there is no screensaver
selected the computer will go straight into the "Locked" mode.

Subject: Screen Saver not kicking in.

 

Good afternoon all - and happy bank holidays!

 

I have a 2003 SBS network all with Dell Optiplex's running Windows XP
SP3.

 

There is a policy that should make all the PC's screensavers kick in
after 10 minutes and then lock the machine, but its not working, I
assume there is something preventing the machine from allowing this to
happen, a process maybe that keeps the machine thinking its being worked
on.

 

I have seen the threads about wifi mice and then like, but thats not
relevant.

 

Is there a tool anywhere that will locate and show what might be
stopping this from working - its quite important as the guys here are a
little lax about locking their own PC's, I understand its an educational
thing in that respect, but I want the autolock to work as well.
