how to lock a desktop using Group Policy

I am trying to using Group Policy in Server 2008 find a way to lock users desktops after an x amout of activity. I have seen on other posts that going to user config > admin template > control panel > then display will accomplish this but i don't have screen saver options as those post say. So if i could get some asistance on how to lock a users desktop after inactivity that would be much apprieciated.

Thanks

I am not looking to lock down users that connected to a terminal session. Just machines that are added to the domain that users log on to,  I would like those to auto lock after an x amount of time of no activity. The same funtion that can be done by hitting CTR + ALT + DELETE and clicking lock this computer but i would like that to be done automatically. What are my options in Group Policy, if any?
