Guest ephipps Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 At the medical center we force the screen saver to come on at a minimum of 15 minutes and lock it to the password due to confidential patient information displayed on the screen when nurses walk away from their workstation. The problem I have is that the previous administrator seems to have hidden a group policy somewhere that sets the screen saver to lockout at 5 minutes. This is not acceptable in a surgery environment. Can someone tell me how to find hidden policies in order to disable or reset them? -- ephipps ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ephipps's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/ephipps.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/microsoft-security/1059345.htm http://forums.techarena.in Quote
Guest Salvador Manaois III Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 You need to run the Resultant Set of Policies snap-in (rsop.msc) to browse through policy information that is set up for computers and users. Alternatively, you can use gpresult from the command-line to view the GPOs applied to a computer/user. Here are some links that might provide you some insights on how to use these tools: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc162497.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733160.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...1.mspx?mfr=true -- ....Badz...
