Windows XP screen saver lockout using SBS 2011 GPO
Posted on 2012-12-26
I am trying to activate a screen saver with password protection enabled on Windows XP machines that are joined to a SBS 2011 server. I have created a GPO and applied it to the group of computers I want to have the policy. Other settings within my GPO such as enforcing Windows Updates at a certain time work correctly, but I am unable to get the screen lockout part of the policy to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
