You can run regedit.exe and set the following Reg_Sz string values;

"ScreenSaveActive"="1"
"ScreenSaveTimeOut"="900"
(time in seconds before activation)
"SCRNSAVE.EXE"="logon.scr"
(path to screen saver)

Dave,

Will this set all users that have existing profiles on the server to
have the screensaver?

For existing users set this value;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop:
"ScreenSaveActive" = "0"

For new users. You can create a profile the way you like it, then Control
Panel|System|User Profiles, select the profile you adjusted, Copy To, Browse
to
%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Default User
Change "Permitted to use:" to "Everyone" OK
