Re: How do you prevent workstations in a server 2003 domain from locki

Robert told you how to make the changes to disable it but you may want to
reconsider in that it is a good security practice to have a computer lock
after a certain period of inactivity and even required in some environments
such as those that need to comply with HIPPA regulations.

Instead you may want to review the idle period that manages when the
computer locks and change that to a more tolerable time if it is too short
for your environment and you are willing to take the risk of such. You may
also want to modify the user configuration [screen saver lock] Group Policy
so that it applies or does not apply to certain domain users as the case may
be via what users are within the scope of management of the Group Policy
that applies the setting..

On a Windows server 2003 domain, how do you prevent workstations from
entering a "locked" state. The user must hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and log back in
after a certain time period. The user will get a window indicating "this
workstation has been locked . . . "

I'm sure this is a group policy thing, but I can't find it. Thanks!
