How do I use Windows 2000 global security settigns to enforce the use of
password protected screen savers on a mix mode server environment? We have
Win98, Win2K and XP clients on a Win2000 SP4 server domain.

Open or create a group policy at the proper level (domain or OU) navigate to
user config - admin templates - control panel - display.

Set the Activate screen saver - Screen saver exe (all computers must have
the exe for this to work) - Password protect - and screen saver time out.


This only works with Win 2k and above clients. Use poledit for the Win 98
computers.

Are the Win 2k and XP clients in the same OU?

Do the Win 2k clients point to the same DNS server?
