How to Assign Screen Saver in Terminal Services

[byrne1]

How can I set the screen saver for my users that log in via Terminal Services? I want all users to use one screen saver but I do not know how to do this. Thanks!

You can do this through group policy. If all of your terminal services users are members of a specific group just set that policy to only apply to that group of users

Can you tell me where in group policy this setting is located?

It is in the administrative templates in the windows area under desktop. You can set the screen saver. Then in group policy management just apply it to the OU you want

On my Terminal Services server, I'm looking at Local Computer Policy->User Configuration->Administrative Templates->Desktop but I do not see an option for setting the screen saver.

Try control panel / display
