G/Day forum,

Is there a way of configuring Group Policy to automatically lock all
Workstations in a specific OU?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Steve.
 
Yes. Set a Group Policy and configure:

1. screensaver to time-out at whatever interval you want (i.e. after 10
minutes)
2. Require password for unlocking.

These settings can be found in User Configuration | Administrative Templates
| Control Panel | Display:
Password Protect Screen Saver (ENABLE)
Screensaver (ENABLE)
Screen Saver Timeout (ENABLE)
number of seconds to wait to enable the screen saver (600
seconds)

good luck.
