TIP: How to force PCs to lock the desktop via GPO |
|
|
To lock a workstation's desktop after a predefined time, use the following GPO properties:
- User Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Control Panel\ Display\ Screen Saver timeout
- User Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Control Panel\ Display\ Password protect the screen saver
The Screen Saver timeout value is the number of seconds before the screen saver times out, e.g. 300 is 5 minutes. The Password protect the screen saver forces the machine to become locked (underneath the screen saver or simply locked if there's no screen saver defined).
