Hello,
I have a server 2008 Domain with new windows 7 machines. The default settings (from dell i guess) have these machines set to display the logon screen after the screen saver kicks on.
I need to uncheck that box.
Things I have tried....
1. Create GPO that sets "Password Protect Screensaver" to DISABLED (tried under computer config and user config)
2. Create GPO that updates the reg key HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\ScreenSaverIsSecure = 0
As for option 2. This is the value that windows modifies if I uncheck the box manually. When I create the GPO, and force a gpupdate, the key never gets modified. I have tried this one under computer config and user config as well. Any help?
Also, according to gpresult, the GPO IS being applied.
