Guest Jeff Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I have terminal server that appears to have a screensaver being enabled through the users desktop policy. We have the desktop policy set to lock after 10 minutes. When they are logged into TS, both sessions will lock. The local desktop and the TS desktop. They are not disconnected. I have the TS screen saver disabled through group policy but the screensaver still starts after 10 minutes. Is there a way to prevent the desktop sreen saver policy from being applied to the TS Session? Thanks for the help, Jeff

Guest Jeff Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Re: Screen Saver Timeout Marcin, Thanks, for the quick responce. If I understand this correctly, I enable loopback processing on my TS GPO and if it is linked to the same OU as my users, the screensaver on the TS session will be disabled but will still be enabeld on the local user desktop? Not really familiar with loopback processing yet. Thanks again, Jeff "Marcin" wrote: > Jeff - yes, you can use for this purpose Loopback Group Policy processing > in the replace mode.
