Sure, but you'd have to edit the local policy on each pc.

as these servers are in a domain we certainly do not want to put them to sleep by using the power options... ive had a look into this and you could possibly set something up using those features to never shut down etc but it seems to complicated and could potentially create more problems.<br />
<br />
im going to setup a separate GPO for this screensaver/lock feature and apply it to our servers.<br />
<br />
thanks for your help

hi<br />
<br />
is it possible to set a screen saver / lock screen policy within the computer configuration ?<br />
<br />
i know that a screen saver / lock screen policy can be applied to the user configuration and then by enabling the loopback feature it will work..<br />
<br />
<br />
but can this be done from the computer side?<br />
would like to do this for servers 2008/2012<br />
<br />
thanks
