Hello,
I am trying to create a GP to enforce a screen lock timeout for my Windows 7 Pro 64 bit clients (but not necessarily a screensaver) that belong to a Windows 2003 Server 32 bit domain.
I have attempted the following from both a Windows 2003 Server and also from a Windows 2007 Pro 64 bit client using Remote Server Administration Tools but cannot get the GP to take effect on a test OU & test Windows 7 Pro 64 bit client.
After adding a linked GPO, I have enabled the following under UserConfig\AdministrativeTemplates\Control Panel\Personalization
- Enable screen saver
- Force specific screen saver (tried adding one & also leaving as blank)
- Password protect the screen saver
- Screen saver timeout to 60 seconds
Once done, I ran gpupdate /force on the client & it successfully applied the default domain policy.
I must be missing a step or two so any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you…
