Screensaver group policy odd behaviour

-

hi, hope can i'm struggling work out happening.

we have existing group policy sets screensaver come on after 5 minutes of inactivity, works great. have noticed users don't lock computers when step away , therefore decided set password protect screensaver option in group policy. set caused backlash users complained happened soon, decided extend screensaver 10 minutes. screensaver still activates after 5 minutes. if remove password protect screensaver part of policy wait 10 minutes part enabled reverts 5 minutes. test disabled prevent changing screensaver part see settings showed on screensaver options in windows 7 , shows correct. 10 minutes whether password protect part enabled or not.

is normal behaviour? hope makes sense , hope can assist. have done usual of gpupdate /force , full reboots nothing seems make policy apply how want to.

as per testing, “prevent changing screensaver” policy setting has no effect on this.

try run “gpresult /h c:\result.html”  on faulty computer , see if useful out there. also, try restart computer , see if make difference.

please remember mark replies answers if , un-mark them if provide no help. if have feedback technet subscriber support, contact tnmff@microsoft.com.
