I have a problem with the screensaver that keeps requiring a password to get
back to the desktop. I have GPOs in place to disable the screensaver
password, and the GPResults wizard and RSOP both show that the password is
disabled, but on some machines, it still locks and a password is required.
Here's what we have:
Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 domain
Windows XP SP2 clients (all computers get the same standard image)
Group Policy 1 on users' OU for all users that:
* enables the screensaver
* sets the marquee screensaver
* sets the timeout period to 10 minutes
* password protects the screensaver
Group Policy 2 on specific workstation OU that:
Computer Settings:
* User Group Policy loopback processing mode enabled, set to Merge
User Settings:
* set the timeout period to 30 minutes
* screensaver password protect is disabled
Like I said, the gpresults wizard and RSOP both show that Group Policy 2 is
applying the screensaver settings, and that the password requirement is
disabled. But, some machines still lock (not a frozen lock, but a
ctrl-alt-del lock) and require a password. By the way, ctrl-alt-del is
disabled everywhere.
Any ideas what could be causing the screensaver locks? If you need any more
information, please let me know.
