so, when you do disable screen saver timeout policy it works for everyone
but not the server itself, is that right? after applying "disable" policy and
refresfing it did you logout from server and the login again? if you didn't
then changes to policy will not apply to server, you have to log out and
login...

so, once "disable" policy applied fine to all clients, you change it to "not
configured" and after refreshing and loging out then logon ...still old
"disable" policy apply???
is this done on the root of domain? do you have any OUs with GP linked to
those?
have you modify default Gp in Domian Controllers container?
"block policy" or "do not override" checked somewhere?
