Does anyone know how under policies I can setup mandatory
screen savers to activate in 5 minutes for all my domain
users?

Thanks a million
John
 
That can be done at the domain level Group Policy. Go to user
configuration/administrative templates/control panel/display where you will see the
various options. If you do not want users to change settings, be sure to disable
access to the screensaver tab. --- Steve
 
Hi John
Create a new group policy at an OU that holds all your users. leave the
security at the default for authenticated users to apply the group policy.
Opent he policy and go to the user configuration settings\administrative
templates\control panel\display

There are 4 policies for screen savers.
1. turns it on
2. sets what screen saver to use
3. sets if you want to password protect it
4. sets the time out in seconds.

Hope this helps
