craigg Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 It's the first day of the new term and I'm already having an air head moment... Can anyone remember where the gpo to adjust the default time it takes for the computer to lock it self? Cheers
Style Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 User Settings > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization > Screen taver timeout and Password protect the screen saver
FN-GM Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 It will be under the screensaver settings User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Display Just change the screensaver timeout.

craigg Posted January 5, 2011 Author Posted January 5, 2011 This has solved the problem to some extent but i'd forgotten that this setting was at user level. I've been asked if i can set this gpo to a group of machines instead of users.. For example, all of our office machines need to lock within a certain time for security reasons but we cant have this happening on machines that are connected to smartboards etc. Im currently trying GPP with client side targeting but it doesnt seem to be working. Anymore tips?

Will post back with results!
