You can use Group Policy to affect these changes:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
These are the REG_SZ values that control the screensaver:
ScreenSaveActive = 1 (If 0, screensavers are not active)
ScreenSaverIsSecure = 1 (a 0 = no password protection)
ScreenSaveTimeOut = 600 (for 10 minutes)
SCRNSAVE.EXE = C:\WINNT\System32\myscreensaver.scr (or whatever screensaver file name you selected)
Also check this key:
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
The same settings apply to the case where no one is logged on to the workstation.
