Screensaver not starting on 2008 R2 RDS server
hi guys,
having strange problem 2008 r2 remote desktop services server. i've cross posted rds forum well, pointed out there group policy issue, here can help!
the rds server being setup heavily locked down , run 1 or 2 applications, went through virtually available user , computer gpo settings , disabled/enabled seemed appropriate. problem causing screensaver never lock screen when user connected remotely. clear not need see screensaver, want lock , prompt credentials after 10 minutes not disconnect session 1 hour.
the screensaver polices set domain policy gpo @ top of tree. "enable screensaver:enabled", "force specific screen saver: scrnsave.scr", "password protect screen saver: enabled", "screen saver timeout: enabled 300". have seperate gpos provide rest of lockdown functionality such specifying list of applications allowed run (i've tried disabling this), disable right clicking about 150 other lockdown settings.
when lockdown gpos not applied user screensaver kicks in expected after 5 minutes, when lockdown gpos applied no longer happens, sessions stays live , logged in until rds server disconnects after hour.
i assumed problem might settings not getting applied user's registry reason, after mounting hive of locked down user see - "screensaveactive:1", "screensaverissecure:1", "screensavetimeout:300", "scrnsave.exe: scrnsave.scr". registry setting there, user's screen should locking after 5 minutes never does.
so conclusion 1 of other lockdown type policies applied causing screensaver stop functioning, dread thought of turning them off 1 @ time , locking in check. ideas?
thanks,
philip harrison
