| I am facing lots of issue with this group policy.
I have Windows 2003 Native domain with Windows XP SP3 and Vista SP1
desktops.
We have applied screensaver policy \ 15 minutes timeout\ password protected
as *domain policy*.
(Administrative Template\Control Panel\Display) in users' settings.
But some of users with vista and XP are not getting locked after threshold
time.
I have checked:
1. updated GP with gpupdate /force.
2. checked that the registry entries are there as specified in GP.
Can somebody help me in this...

| Do you also have a screensaver specified in the GPO? The users that aren't getting the policy may not have a screensaver set. These are the policies we set:
Policy Setting
Password protect the screen saver Enabled
Screen Saver Enabled
Screen Saver executable name Enabled
Screen Saver executable name logon.scr
Screen Saver timeout Enabled
Number of seconds to wait to enable the Screen Saver Seconds: 1800

| Hi Andy,
Assuming the policy that contains these settings is called “Domain Policy” – did you do a gpresult from these machines to see if the policy is applying to the USER context? Have you tried running the group policy results wizard to see how the policy would apply on these machines?

| Hi Derek,
I have checked with the GPresult for that particular user and getting result
as policy is applied, Even i have checked with the registry keys stored in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop
and all settings are there as per policy..
But the screensaver is not executing on set interval...
It is happening with many users and making me frustrate what goes wrong...

Have you selected a particular *.scr file? If so it must be on the local machine. Try selecting something generic, like windows logo.
