Im running win2k3 domain with xp users. How can I setup a domain wide Group
Policy that locks users computer after 10 min of non activity forcing the
user to log back in?

User Config \ Adm Templates \ Control Panel \ Screensaver
Screensaver Timeout 10 Minutes and Screensaver is secure ...

Is this going to enable a password protected screen saver or the lock
computer screen? I want to enable the lock computer screen. Is this the same
thing?
 
Howdie!

Use
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Display

“Screen Saverâ€, “Screen Saver executable name†(optional), “Screen Saver
timeout†and “Password Protect the Screen Saverâ€.

That will kick off the screensaver after some minutes and will - if the
user wants to work with the machine again, prompt him for the password.
Yes, it's the "lock computer" screen.

cheers,

Florian
