Re: Screensaver passwords through GPO

Norbert...

Thanks for that, i moved the mouse to clean the screensaver almost
instantly, if i leave it for a 30 seconds, the password protection activates
no problem

Hi,

However, when the screensaver comes on then I move the mouse to get
back to the desktop, it does not ask me for a password so is not
locking the machine.

After which time did you move the mouse? There's a screensaver grace time
before you need to enter the password.

Bye
Norbert
