Setting a screensaver in Terminal Services?

[hayabusaukuk]

One of my "users" requires a special screen saver, we have thin client Terminal Server.

How can i get this on his profile?

Thanks

I should add that we are using thin client wyse boxes, not XP to access the TS

What do you mean special screensaver?

Does he need his screen to be locked at a different time the rest of the users?

No, he "requires" a picture of his wife as his own screensaver, rather than the default Server 2003 logo..

Depending on your GPO settings you may or may not be able to do this. If the GPO allows it, you should be able to change the screensaver through the desktop properties as you would on a regular desktop while he is logged in. If the GPO doesn't allow it, you will not have the screensaver tab on the display properties panel.

I am not 100% sure of the outcome as I have never catered to this kind of request for any users.

The Wyse terminals I have used in the past didn't offer a function to have special screensaver run by the terminal.

I wouldn't recommend it depending on the performance usage on the server. I have it turned off on mine being we have over 50 users logged in.
