Re: Windows 2003 server screensaver

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Why not create a new OU in your AD (AD users and computers),
and simply MOVE all the servers which you want to behave in this
way into that new OU, and create a new GPO for that OU.

That way the policy would only affect the servers, and not the regular
users.

I use this approach to differentiate different policies for servers and
users.

P.S.
All you gurus out there:
Is there a better way to do this, or is this good advice that I give here?
