Hello,
In my lab I have a GPO called "Enforce Screensaver" linked to my "Contoso Users" OU that enforces the screensaver after 10 minutes of inactivity.
I have a "Contoso Workstations" OU that contains all of my user workstations. I want to target a handful of these workstations and prevent them from inheriting the "Enforce Screensaver" GPO regardless of who logs in.
At the moment I have created a security group called "No Screensaver". This group contains the workstations I want to block the screensaver on. I then have a GPO called "Disable Screensaver". That GPO is linked to the "Contoso Workstations" OU and has a security filter targeting the "No Screensaver" security group. The Authenticated Users group has been removed from the filter. The GPO contains 2 settings:
- Computer Configuration - Enable User Group Policy loopback processing mode :Merge
- User Configuration - Enable screen saver : Disabled
Currently this does not work. The gpresults shows the computer is in the group and shows the GPO has been applied on the computer configuration side.
Is this not a supported configuration?
