In this post I will use a screen saver that comes with windows operating system. Most companies have a branded screen saver that displays their company logo along with company information. This will prevent the unauthorized access to the computer even though the employees forget to lock their computers. With the help of group policy the administrator can define settings to automatically lock the computer after the specified amount of minutes. This is because without locking the computer, some one could access it. In most organizations the employees are advised to lock their computer before they step away from it. Using group policy you can lock computers after specific interval of time or after specific duration of inactivity on the computer.
In this post I will show you how to lock computers in domain via group policy.
