Desktop pc's not locking after idle time on the SBS 2011 Network?
We have an SBS 2011 network... and recently our windows 7 desktops stopped automatically locking after a set amount of time. I believe we were using a default Group Policy setting as this has always worked for us by default. Where do I find the settings to check on this and make sure it is still set to do this for us? If a user got up and walked away.... their desktop would automatically lock after so many minutes of idle time. Please advise?

On the server go to Start, Administration, Active Directory Users and Computers. The Windows SBS Client Policy GPO is created by default in the MyBusiness | Computers | SBSComputers OU. Open the GPO attached to it and check the settings.

Larry,
using gpresult with which switches do you suggest....... still not finding the setting that says..... when the pc is idle after 10 or 15 mins.... lock it out and require a password to get back in. That's all we are looking for....ours seems to have stopped working??
