Leew,<br />
If possible, <br />
I would like to avoid using a screensaver password. &nbsp;I want the user to have to use their NT password instead to keep other users from accessing other users computers when they are away from their desk. &nbsp; Is there a way to do this with a 2000 server?<br />

smpross,,, when you enable a screensaver password via &quot;on resume, password protect&quot; &nbsp;either locally or via a GPO it does require their NT password.

Hi All,<br />
I have a win 2k server with all XP Pro computers. &nbsp;How can I set Group policy to lock the desktop after being idle for a certain period of time. &nbsp;I want the user to have to enter their password again. &nbsp;Is there a group policy setting for this?<br />

How to Lock Desktop using Group Policy

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
