Screen Saver Group Policy
I am new to DC I want to implement screen saver on my domain PCs. Please tell me the way to configure/setting group policy for Domain Controller.
Best Regards,
Muhammad Arshad,
Following you have to do:user configuration -> Policies -> Administration Templates -> Control Panel / Personalization settings as follows:
Enable Screen Saver : Enabled
Force Specific screen saver : Enabled
Screen Saver exe name : scrnsave.scr
Password protect the screen saver : Enabled
Prevent changing the screen saver : Enabled
Screen saver timeout: number of seconds 1800 (30 minutes)
Time out interval depends on your requirement.

Desktop screen saver Group policy enable settings & Supported file.
Dear All,

Operating system details,
DC : Windows 2008 ent server
Member machines : Windows 7 prof.

Regards, Kumar.VHi,
I agree with SenneVL.
After you have created the .scr file that you want to apply, you may deploy the screensaver via the following group policy.
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Personalization\Force specific screen saver
If you enable this setting, type the name of the file that contains the screen saver, including the .scr file name extension. If the screen saver file is not in the %Systemroot%\System32
directory, type the fully qualified path to the file.
Note: This setting can be superseded by the "Enable Screen Saver" setting. If the "Enable Screen Saver" setting is disabled, this setting is ignored,
and screen savers do not run.
For more information, you can refer to the following thread:

How to disable print screen by group policy?
I tried with below steps however its not working. Please assist me on this?.
Step one: Create a Reg_binary entry using the info below:
(reg file: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
“Scancode Map”=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,00,00,2a,e0,00,00,37,e0,\
00,00,54,00,00,00,00,00)
Step two: Link all OU sites to this new GPO policy
Do one of the following:
1. To link to a domain or an organizational unit, open Active Directory Users and Computers.
2. In the console tree, right-click the site, domain, or organizational unit to which you want the Group Policy object to be linked.
3. Click Properties, and then click the Group
Policy tab.
4. To add the Group Policy object to the Group Policy Object Links list, click Add. This opens the Add
a Group Policy Object Link dialog box.
5. Click the All tab, click the Group Policy object that you want, and then click OK.
6. In the properties dialog box for the site, domain, or organizational unit, click OK.Hi Dinesh,
To disable print screen, we can create a .reg file containing:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,00,00,2a,e0,00,00,37,e0,\
00,00,54,00,00,00,00,00
Then, we can apply the registry setting through a startup script via group policy, or if our domain controllers is Windows Server 2008 or above, we can utilize Group Policy
Preferences Registry extension to deploy the registry setting.
Regarding this point, the following thread can be referred to for more information.

Turn off the screen saver is greyed out in Presentation Settings
Hi,
We are using Windows 7, and want to allow laptop users the ability to "turn off the screen saver" when they are running presentations. However, this option is greyed out and the box is not selectable.
We have the usual screen saver group policies, i.e. enable screen saver, Prevent changing the screen saver, screen saver timeout, and force specific screen saver. I have tried to Disable all these apart from Enable screen saver, since if I disable this then
it says users cannot change screen saver options, so I left this one as enabled.
However, the "Turn off the screen saver" box is still greyed out. Does anyone know which group policy setting will enable this option?
Also, is there a way to keep the screen saver settings and also be able to use Presentation Settings, so that the screen saver does not come on and lock the machine in mid presentation?
I've seen some sites mention utilities that run in the background and simulate mouse clicks, but we're not allowed to run these kind of utilities, and no forums seem to be able to provide an answer to this problem.
Thxs.
JazHi,
>>i.e. enable screen saver, Prevent changing the screen saver, screen saver timeout, and force specific screen saver. I have tried to Disable all these apart from
Enable screen saver,
Before going further, please make sure that the group policy settings were applied correctly. We can run cmd command
gpresult/v or gpresult/z on clients to collect group policy to check this.
Besides, if the issue persists, we can try setting all these settings to
Not Configured.
>>Also, is there a way to keep the screen saver settings and also be able to use Presentation Settings, so that the screen saver does not come on and lock the machine
in mid presentation?
Based on the description, it is not easy to do this. However, we can reduce the effect of screen saver by choosing to not enable
Password protect the screen saver, and not set the setting
On resume, display logon screen on Screen Saver Settings dialogue box. Besides, we need to not let our power plan settings lock out the computer within a short time.

WGM: Enforcing screen saver policy
We are using a 10.5.4 server with all 10.5.4 clients.
The server is running OD only in the "Golden" or "Magic Triangle" configuration. Basically, this server is our point of managed preferences for our macs while we use Group Policy for all our PCs. Authentication is done through AD.
I have had success adding various policies to test machines, but one continues to evade me. I can force the computer to lock on screensaver, but I am having difficulty setting a permanent timeout or "Idle Time" for the screen saver. I have tried adding the "Idle Time" preference to the manifest in both "Often" (a supported area) and "Always" (one that throws a warning), but neither seem to effect the computers actually screen saver time. Note: If "Always" is set, that time will show in the /Library/Managed Preferences/<USER>/...plist file, but the actual policy doesn't appear to be enforced.
Here are the sources I've used for setting up screen saver policies:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7251806�
http://managingosx.wordpress.com/2008/02/20/mcx-vs-the-screensaver-and-leopard/
Is there even a way to enforce either 1) an exact time for the screen saver to be invoked or at least 2) a maximum wait time allowed for it to be set to?
Thanks all!What vintage machines are you using for this? I'll guess they're not the most recent?
I've found that I can get the ByHost prefs to work from WGM for (slightly) older machines that use the shorter Unique ID (just the MAC address). 2 x 2.66 Dual Core Xeon Mac Pro is an example. However, newer machines such as a 2 x 3.2 Quad Core Xeon Mac Pro use a longer Unique ID. There are two problems:
1) WGM doesn't see a ByHost .plist file with a long Unique ID as being valid
2) WGM delivers a ByHost .plist file with a short Unique ID (MAC address) to a newer machine that wants to see a long Unique ID ByHost .plist file. So, the newer machine simply ignores it. You'll see two com.apple.screensaver.xxxx.plist in the ByHost folder.
I guess that's perhaps the bug referred to in one of the posts above.
We haven't had a chance to see if Server 10.5.6 addresses this or not. We're currently on 10.5.5.
For a given machine, you can see what its Unique ID (or, Universal Unique ID; UUID) either by changing screensaver prefs and then looking in your ByHost folder for the most recent version of the .plist file, or by doing this little command here: http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=leopardbyhostchanges
The above article makes it sound like all Leopard machines use the long UUID, but I haven't found that to be the case. It seems to just be newer hardware that does.

Multiple AD Group Policy Screen Lock Policies
I am looking to have multiple screen lock policies one for X minutes and one for Y minutes, is this possiable, and how can I configure this?
Yes you can do this. A few ways are possible. From memory the screen saver policy is user based rather than computer based.
You can create two GPO's and configure the screensaver setting you want in both. Then you can do one of two things.
1. apply each policy to a different OU where the users reside
2. create two security groups - one for each GPO. Then remove the authenticated users group from the GPO security settings and add your new security group to the GPO and give it read and apply group policy. Then add your users to which ever group you want.
Apply the GPOs to either a user OU, or domain level - which ever works best.

We are running Windows 8.1 Pro x86
I am really curious as to why the drive restriction group policy causes the error message to pop up:
"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator."
It does not prevent from actual saving so functionality is not lost but it really annoys our end users and we're getting a lot of complaints. We cannot use the workaround of hiding drives instead of restricting as this still presents security issues. This
is happens when saving (or clicking on a button like "Browse" that opens the 'Open' dialogue box) in all Office 2013 applications, Internet Explorer, Paint, Notepad, and probably most others. I've looked at many forums and no suggestions for workarounds
have succeeded for us to get rid of this error message and in fact, I read a post that stated that someone contacted Microsoft and they said this was by design and there is no workaround. I find this very unfortunate that we either have the choice of compromising
security or annoying our end users. It seems to me like the new dialogue box in Windows 8.1 (and maybe 8?) attempts to access the local drive under the logged in user's account before it actually opens up the dialogue box which conflicts with the group policy
that restricts access to the drive.
Has anyone at all had any luck getting this to go away without removing the restrictions? It seems like the answer is either buried in the Windows code or somewhere in the registry.
Thank you in advance for your time!Thank you for your time and response! Unfortunately, we have the machine locked down pretty tight (they are public use computers that require heavy restriction) and it is set to restrict all drives so access is limited to the local profile. We did try
testing your method, however, by adding the Desktop as an allowed location in the Office policy (which would not solve the issue for the other applications but was good for a test) using the path %userprofile%\desktop. When choosing that location, it does
not throw the error but unfortunately, it does not remember like it did for your with the E: drive so it still always throws the error when first loading the dialogue box no matter what I do. If you're able to confirm that this is simply by design and we're
just expected to inform our users to click through the errors, then I guess that's the accepted answer. Although, do you think that there might be a registry key value that is set after you save to the E: drive for the first time? Maybe we could set that value
to %userprofile%\desktop if it's doing the redirection after the first save through registry. Thanks again! -
Lock Screen Group Policy - Error code 0X80070002
Hi
I'm trying to update the workstation policy (2008R2) to show a new Lock Screen for our users.
I have two policies:
-Windows 7 Workstation Policy
-Windows 8.1 Workstation Policy
It was no problem for our Windows 7 machines.
Windows 8.1 however wouldn't change.
The picture downloads successfully to the client directory I specified in the policy, resolution and size are ok.
I've tried deleting the sysdata folder on test machines (This left me with a blue lock screen, but still better than what they chose ;)
I've tried default and unique filenames, and different folder locations under 'Force A Specific Lock Screen'
I've disabled/enabled 'Force a Specific Lock Screen'
I came across this warning on the client test machine:
The computer 'backgroundDefault.jpg' preference item in the 'Win8.1 Policy}' Group Policy Object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070002 The system cannot find the file specified.' This error was suppressedHi ,
Can you please post the gpresult report here? And also ensure there is no policy processing failure in the problematic machines. That you can verify by seeing the gpsvc logs.

How to use Group Policy to remove the shutdown button on the logon screen
Environment: Shared use computers running Window 7 Professional and MS office Suite; Windows 2008 Standard server, Windows 7 EC Domain Policy and MS Office 2007 ADML Template downloaded from Microsoft. WIndows 7 Accounts OU.
I am in the process of developing a shared use computer lockdown policy for several Windows 7 computers that will made available in my client's computer lab. I need to use a group policy setting to remove the Shut Down button on
the logon screen of the Windows 7 client computers. I am editing the Windows 7 EC Domain Policy to user accounts in a Windows 7 Accounts OU that I created. I am using the Group Policy editor in the Group Policy Management Console.
Please let me know the best practice for accomplishing this using Group Policy editor.
Thanks.
P.S. I tried a setting recommended in the following link in the Windows 7 EC Domain Policy which did not seem to work.
http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/group-policy/can-i-use-group-policy-to-display-or-remove-the-shut-down-button-on-the-logon-screen-.aspxHi Vernon,
I tried the group policy you mentioned (Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local Policies, and select Security Options, "Shutdown: Allow system to be shut down without having to log on") and it worked on a Windows 7 client.
Thus you may need to check if the group policy you created is actually applied to clients.

Unavailablity of screen saver and contact group im...
Hello
I have nokia 5230 nuron and 3110c handset
even the basic java phones has the option like screen saver contact group image why the 5230 symb. set doesn't having those option
prakashThe 5230 is a touch screen, and the screen lock therefore turns the screen off, making it basically pointless to have a screen saver option since the screen is turned off once you lock it. Also, the screen saver on idle has been removed for battery saving concerns since the large screen would eat up the battery in no time. If you really prefer to have a screen saver instead of having your battery last the day through, you can download lockscreen apps which allow screen savers.
As for the contact group images, I cant remember if my last java phone (5610) had that, but I cant see the point of having it when the phone shows you the contact's image when they call, meaning you really wouldnt see the contact group image anywhere of worth.
If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks. -

Is the machine in a domain environment ?How did you configure the screensaver ?
Usually we can configure it here .
Right click the blank desktop ,choose personalize ,screensaver.
There is a registry key we can configure the timeout of the screensaver .
HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\ScreenSaveTimeout
If it is a domain environment ,please check whether the screensaver group policy has been configured.
We can run "rsop " to have a check .
We also can try to configure it from the group policy
Screen Saver timeout
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc961876.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
If the issue persists, we can try to login with another account and configure it to have a check .This will help us to narrow down whether this issue is caused by the specific account .
Best regards
im not exactly sure what you mean by domain but its for my home network, just simple SOHO. ive tried using another user account to change it but it doesnt matter what it only goes to 15 mins max time.
youd suggest i look into the registry for starters or?
thanks again for the reply -
Best practice Terminal Services Group Policy AD
When I started out with Terminal Services on Windows 2000 I used as a guide a book from Todd Mathers called Windows NT/2000 Thin Client Solutions and have been using his recommendations ever since. We are not planning to go to Windows 2008 and I thought it might be a good time to review our methodology and have a second pair of eyes/experience look over. I'm not sure if anybody responding will be familiar with the book but here are the steps recommended in the book that we have implemented:
1) Create a separate Terminal Services OU in the domain
2) Under the TS OU create two OU's - Terminal Servers and Terminal Server User Groups
3) Create 3 GPO's and apply to the Terminal Servers OU
a) TSServers
Enable Block Policy inheritance

I would appreciate if somebody could critique the above for our present 2000 environment - how we might do things different and better - we are still going to be running 2000 for another year - and also offer some guidance as to how we should modify the above for 2008 R2.my favorite is:
user - admin templates - windows components - windows explorer -Hide this specified drives in My computer
user - admin templates - windows components - windows explorer -Prevent Access to drives from My Computer
user - admin templates - windows components - windows explorer - Prevent users from adding files to the root of their User Files Folders (I wnat to keep folder redirection effective)

Server 2008 R2 does not show Internet Explorer 10/11 Group Policy options
Hello,
I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 server that has IE11 installed. I am attempting to create a GPO to control Proxy settings for IE10/11 clients, however, when I go to User Config>Preferences> Control Panel Settings> Internet Settings and Right click,
I do not see an option for IE10, only IE5 and 6, IE7, and IE8.
I have downloaded and installed the Administrative Templates for Internet Explorer from
here, and followed the installation instructions, but still, the option does not show up. I have ensured that all the latest Windows Updates are installed on the server, and rebooted
the server a couple times.
What am I missing here?

This setting determines whether the Properties menu item is enabled, and thus, whether the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box is available to users.
If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the Properties menu items are disabled for all users, and users cannot open the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box.
Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.
If you disable this setting or do not configure it, a Properties menu item appears when users right-click the icon representing a LAN connection. Also, when users select the connection, Properties is enabled on the File menu.
Note: This setting takes precedence over settings that manipulate the availability of features inside the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box. If this setting is enabled, nothing within the properties dialog box for a LAN connection is available to
users.
Note: Nonadministrators have the right to view the properties dialog box for a connection but not to make changes, regardless of this setting." gpmc_settingname="Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection" gpmc_settingpath="User Configuration/Administrative

If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the check boxes for enabling and disabling components are disabled. As a result, administrators cannot enable or disable the components that
a connection uses.
Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.
If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the Properties dialog box for a connection includes a check box beside the name of each component that the connection uses. Selecting the check box enables the component, and clearing the check box disables
the component.
Note: When the "Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection" setting is enabled, users are blocked from accessing the check boxes for enabling and disabling the components of a LAN connection.
Note: Nonadministrators are already prohibited from enabling or disabling components for a LAN connection, regardless of this setting." gpmc_settingname="Prohibit Enabling/Disabling components of a LAN connection" gpmc_settingpath="User

How do you turn off the password requirment to unlock from screen saver?
In mac system prefrence under the secuirity options there is no checkbox or way to turn off the password requirment while the mac is on screen saver mode or sleep mode? I read in mac help that there should be an option?
Can you try logging on as another administrative user? (Make another user, if necessary.)
And just for the heck of it, if you click the lock and unlock the rest of the controls, does the checkbox appear?
Another thought: is your computer part of a Windows domain or other network? Is there a policy on the network to require a screen saver password? (For example on my office's Windows network, a screen saver password requirement is set in the Group Policy. I'm assuming that something similar can be done with an OSX server, if you haven't joined the Mac to a Windows Active Directory network.) -
I am trying to force a specific screen saver using the following in Group Policy.
Enable screen saver - Enabled
Force specific screen saver - %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
Password protect the screen saver - Enabled
Screen saver timeout - 600
On some computers it works, others it does not and still others show the bubbles screen saver. I have been unable to figure out why it's not working 100%. It's as if the local screen saver settings are overriding the domain group policy settings.Hi,
Force specific screen saver - %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
What's the path of this?
The correct path should be: type the name of the file that contains the screen saver, including the
.scr file name extension. If the screen saver file is not in the %Systemroot%\System32 directory, type the fully qualified path to the file.
Local setting was unable to overriding the domain group policy. It might be the group policy was not applied to client. We could use gpresult command on client side to confirm:
Run "gpresult /h gpreport.html" command to saves the report in HTML format with the file name "gpreport.html" at C:\Windows\System32\ directory.
Open this file to check if this group policy was applied successfully.
Also check it on client which worked fine to compare this group policy setting.
