Screensaver & Workstation Lock

[ken]

We have a policy that activates the screensaver and locks
the workstation after 15 minutes of inactivity. Works
for most of the users... except a few--nothing common
between them, except they are domain members.

When we rolled out this policy, the majority of the users
complained... now i have one user that's complaining that
it's not activating. I did a gpresult on her computer,
and it shows she's getting the policy applied, but, her
screensaver and lock aren't activating.

Any ideas? They'd be most appreciated

Ken,

I've been having the same problem and have tried many approaches. One that
has worked the best is applying/reapplying the latest client SP. Here we are
running XP-Pro exclusively. Once clue my be to turn on debug levels for the
user environment so can possibly identifying what or why something isn't
loading. I've some cases used the method in Q231287 but I was uncomfortable
with it. Check this out also -http://www.jsiinc.com/subh/tip3700/rh3799.htm.
Good luck! If you find out any revelations be sure to pass them on.

HTH,

Scott R
