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. ________________________________ From: Gavin Wilby [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, May 01, 2009 6:17 AM To: NT System Admin Issues 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. -- Gavin Wilby, Twitter: http://twitter.com/gavin_wilby Blog: http://www.stoof.co.uk Confidentiality Notice: ---------------------------------- This communication, including any attachments, may contain confidential information and is intended only for the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
