Hi Debbie,
And for other readers, let me make this more specific.
In this GPO we have a total of 5 settings:
1. Computer
Config/WindowsSettings/SecuritySettings/LocalPolicies/SecurityOptions-Intera
ctivelogon:do not require CTRL-ALT-DEL- Disabled (this is to counteract a
local policy setting that was part of our ghost image)
2. UserConfig/AdminTemplates/ControlPanel/Display Password protect the
screensaver-Enabled
3. Screensaver- Enabled
4. Screensaver executable name- logon.scr (which we know to be in the
same location (C:\Windows\system32) on every system.
5. Screensaver timeout- Enabled- 900 seconds
The first setting in this GPO is working properly- we have observed its
effect and can see it when the RSoP is run. But not the rest.
So, it's weird, huh?
thanks,
Dave
