Inactivity policy to lock workstation
Posted by Matthew on September 23rd, 2004


Can anyone help with this.

I want to be able to set up a group policy to enable
password lockout if a user leaves their computer
unattended for a short period of time.

This is similar to password protected screen saver but I
want to apply it across the whole domain. Is this
possible?

Regards

Matthew

In article <110f01c4a166$b26fbd20$3501280a@phx.gbl>,

higher with w2k or higher clients.

If you want to implement it for every computer on your domain then:
start Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) go to domain name.
right click and select properties, go to policy tab. klik on Default
Domain policy and then edit, or create a special GPO for this by
clicking on new ( i would recommend this one)

in the policy editor navigate to: User configuration->Administrative
templates->Control Panel->Display

there are the settings you can change.
