How to lock Windows 7 workstation after inactivity via GPO (no screensaver
or blank screen- just lock screen)
Our users have increasingly started leaving their workstations logged in
and unattended (during lunch breaks etc.)
To tackle the security threat this poses, we have enforced a
password-protected screensaver via Group Policy.
The DC server is running SBS 2003, and the workstations are now mostly
Windows 7 (a couple of XP PCs still).
Screensavers popping up can be a little distracting, and screens going
completely blank after 30 minutes can be confusing for some users, so I
would like to have the workstations simply lock after 30 minutes instead.
The monitors will eventually power off (after 60 minutes).
Auto-locking is easy to set manually...
...but I can't see a way to do this in Group Policy.
Does anyone know of a way this can be achieved in this SBS 2003/ Windows 7
environment?
