I did manually select a screensaver but still nothing.ĪHA. it did go through on the PC (the settings are all changed and the registry keys are added) BUT. I did like you said, added the policy and the registry keys. Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization. Make sure the timeout is the same as what you set in in the Policy section, or results will be inconsistent. Make sure you look at the spelling - "ScreenSaverIsSecure" is the only key with the second 'r' in the spelling. Registry settings enforced under User>Preferences>Windows>Registry, setting the keys "ScreenSaveActive"=1, "ScreenSaverIsSecure"=1, "ScreenSaveTimeOut"=however many seconds.

Policy settings are under User>Policy>Admin>Control Panel, setting the "Enable Screensaver", "Password Protect" and "Screensaver Timeout" options.

I allow the user to select their own screensaver (some like the pretty pictures!) If they choose "None", it just locks & requires their password.īut yes, I enforce the screensaver to be "on" and I set the time to lock it by, both under Registry and Policy.
