Lock Screen Saver with Group Policy

[yukon10]

I looked through Group Policy and I think I just missed it.. Could someone tell me where to find where I can set a default screensaver for everyone in the company??

thanks

I think these steps will help you ( sorry if i use the wrong names, i can't try itmyself at this moment ).
In the default domain controller policy[yourserver]click user configuration, administrative templates, configpanel, screen (or something like monitor).
At the right pane :
doubleclick screensaver, and enable it.
doubleclick name of the executable file of screensaver.
Now you can type the name of your favourite screensaver.

good luck.

If you did this in the default domain controller policy it would only apply to the DCs.

The best way to do this would be to put everyone that should have the policy in a new OU and then create a screensaver GPO linked to that OU.

The setting is at user configuration, administrative templates, control panel, display. There are four settings you could use: screen saver, screen saver executable name, password protect the screen saver and screen saver timeout.
