Group policies, screensavers and locking PCs

[BobSheridan]

I am looking into finding away of implementing a group policy to make unattended W2K PCs more secure. Now I know that you can do this by making PCs run with screensavers and activating password protection, however we have a lot of machines that run processor intensive programs which can be effected by the extra demands of running a screensaver - or at least as department heads claim. Does anyone know of a way that I can simply force PCs just to lock after a certain period of time without activating a screen saver as well?

set the screen saver to "Logon screen saver" with password protection enabled. Set this through a GPO.

Try asking in the Windows 2000 forum rather than Exchange- may be more of a response.

Thanks Zelandakh, I'll try out both of your suggestions.
