Override screensaver policy windows 7




















Like I said, this is a User policy. If you're attaching it to an OU with computers, it isn't going to apply to the user unless he's in that same OU which I wouldn't recommend or you're using loopback.

I really need to see the output of gpresult to see what is going on with your Group Policy config though. Sorry, the computer and the users are in the same OU. We're doing some test for the productional start in the middle of September. I will produce the Gpresult asap and start the new post. AD level won't matter on this setting. If you're only wanting it for a specific set of servers, you'll want to use loopback processing Next, you'll want to create a group that contains all those users.

Create a GPO with the timeout you want and set the filtering for that group. Something strange happened last week with our user GPO's and I'm curious if anyone else has seen it. All of a sudden last Tuesday all user policies wouldn't apply.

This was first noticed because screensaver was not kicking on. Was there a patch or something release by Microsoft that caused us to require Domain Computers now in all GPO's with user settings only? I don't understand why this would have changed and the solution doesn't make any sense either.

Thanks, this saved me a lot of work. Same time frame with the windows updates, same clue regarding the screen-saver not responding to the previous policy I had in effect. I have found that if I want the policy to apply to all domain users I can simply use "Authenticated Users". If I have limited the application of the policy by username in the Security Filter, I had to add an additional entry for, "Domain Computers".

I feared that adding that general security filter of Domain Computers, that all domain computers would react to the policy but that was not the case. Once adding that entry things have been back to normal. This is a by-design change in Group Policy processing. For more information on the cause and resolution of this issue, see this article. For a Powershell script to automate the setting of the permissions to fix this, see this article.

In my organisation, every PC has been updated the GP and its works well , except one PC ; as per GP result its correct no changes on that, but lock out policy not applied only in particular PC..

Only solution so far is to remove the update. Leos Marek posted an update 13 hours, 30 minutes ago.

Hi, i made some progress, the script can be used from Computer Client like Win10, and he dont need to import Active Directory modules, also dont need to enter config. Please ask IT administration questions in the forums. Any other messages are welcome. If GP cannot read the existing settings it cannot apply new ones.

Jonathan's comment of creating a new GPO to override the settings is a good one. Messing with enforcing and block inheritance gets very messy very fast. There is no reason why a screen saver policy needs to be configured in the Default Domain Policy; that is asinine no attacks or anything, I'm sure you just inherited it.

The easiest way to overcome this is to install software such as Caffeine, Insomnia, Don't Sleep or a similar utility. Or create another GPO with the proper settings and apply at a lower level, enforced over the default.

Then, if any other machines need similar behavior, you apply the GPO to them as well. To continue this discussion, please ask a new question.

I confirm that this works for me. There are ways to prevent administrative policies from being applied when you log in to a domain, but that is beyond the scope of this question.

A quick call should help. Dave M Dave M 13k 21 21 gold badges 35 35 silver badges 45 45 bronze badges. I will do that. But my scenario is that I keep getting locked while using Remote Desktop from home. This does not serve any purpose. Community Bot 1.

I since solved the problem using the registry change, but this also looks reasonable as a last-resort solution. There's a couple other things I'd like to add, though: Be careful tweaking this setting, whether it be via registry or otherwise. Iszi Iszi 13k 40 40 gold badges silver badges bronze badges. We are a small programming shop. There is no corporate IT department. Even more reason why you should contact whomever administers the domain group policy, and explain the situation to them so they can modify the policy files.

It looks like you changed this setting in the past. Can you tell me where I can find it? I'm beginning to become a bit confused as to exactly which setting you're trying to address here, though.

There are two separate settings for these, and the latter has nothing to do with the screen saver. The session is being locked. I can see and access the blue lock screen over RD.
