Problem with screensaver GPO

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.security (More info?)

Possibly the screensaver ssstars.scr does not exist on their computers. Try
enabling screen saver lockout without specifying a screen saver to see if
that makes a difference. You also may want to look in Event Viewer on the
client computers for any pertinent messages. --- Steve
