Can I log how long a client computer is locked?

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



Hi, I've just taken over an SBS Premium network and know very little.
As part of an effort to increase security I've set a password
protected screensaver to kick in whenever a user leaves their machine
for too long. As a result of this it has been noted by senior
management that several members of staff appear to have their screen
locked for a good part of the day and they are interested to know
exactly how long exactly those systems are idle.

Is there a way to record when the PC is locked and unlocked? I've got
a script to log whenever a user actually logs on/off, but is anything
recorded when the screensaver runs?

Cheers,

Bru
