    Remove the password protect screen saver, set a logout policy to
    autologout/lockdesktop after a certain amount of time of inactivity or
    simply log out or lock the desktop when not in use. Create a domain
    user account for them to use and allow them logon rights to the machine
    in question.

    Will that work?

    Subject: Password Protected Screen Saver and Administrative Password

     
     
    Does someone know a way to allow a normal user to
    release a server password protected screen-saver
    without giving the user the administrator password?

    I need this so that third-party support can access
    our server via GoToMyPC when I am not there. The
    password protected screen-saver blocks them from
    remote access to fix problems. I cannot always be
    on-site to assist by supplying the screen-saver
    password.
