We have a new servers that go to the "lock" window and you have to ctrl, alt, delete and log back in. Our previous network administrator set some 2003 servers to never "lock". Where is this setting? I have looked in screensaver and power settings, don't find anything there. Any suggestions??

Thanks in advance,

It should be in the screen saver properties. You have to have a screensaver selected (it can't be "none". Set the wait time you want and check the box next to "On resume, password protect".

Cheers.
 
OK I see where this could be changed but our previous Network Administrator set group policies disabling changing screensaver settings. I went to the domain control and disabled these policies but screensavers are still "greyed" out. I even did a synch on the domain. What am I still missing? Any ideas?
