The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How to set the screen saver timeout when connected to AD and set it to a different timeout when not connected

Asked by chemdry in Windows XP Operating System

Tags: connected, timeout, when

We are running a windows 2000 server, all of our computers are windows xp sp2, everone has their own computer and we don't use roaming profiles.

My quesiton is, the users that have laptops are part of our training department. We currently have the screen saver timeout and password protect at 15 mintues using GPO. This is sufficient for our security when they are connected to the network and the users have access to network resources. The laptop users are complaining that when they go on the road to do mini conventions that the screen saver comes on to fast will doing their presentations (they might site on one powerpoint slide talking longer than 15 minutes). I need a solution that sets their timeout to 15 when in the building (connected to AD) and sets their timeout to 1 hour when not in the building (not connected to AD.).

Thank you,
Aaron
