Thanks.

I guess I need to explain more.

I have 60000 2000 and XP Pro computers. I need to lock the workstations
after 15 minutes of inactivity. I'd prefer not to use the
screensaver/password method as this can effect serial port communications.

I'm looking for a low-no cost solution, but I haven't been able to find one.

Thanks
Ron

I want to set a timeout period of 15 minutes to all computers in our
domain. I'd prefer not to use a screensaver (as they tend to stop some
functions ie: serial port).

GPO only lists the screensaver method.

How can I do this?
THanks
