We are upgrading to Win7 from XP and are desperate to ensure that a PC lockdown policy is deployed at the same time. <br />
<br />
1. Lock the PC with a screen saver after 15 minutes idle time. User can unlock with their windows password.<br />
2. If the screen saver wait time is less than 15 minutes leave unchanged<br />
3. If the screen saver wait time is higher than 15 minutes change to 15 minutes<br />
4. users can change the wait time &nbsp;(rules 2&amp;3 will enforce the policy)<br />
5. if no screen saver set, apply above policy<br />
5. meeting room presentation PCs to have different wait times<br />
<br />
How can we do this, we tried Group Policy &nbsp;but this sets the wait time to 15minutes and cannot be changed to a lower number by the user.<br />
With XP we use a script but i am told that it cannot be used with Win7<br />
How can I solve this problem<br />
Many Thanks<br />

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
