Good Afternoon Neal,

  We are using the automated logoff screensaver included with the
Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit in our computer labs.  We currently
have a 5 minute timeout.

 

Have a good day,

  Aaron

Fellow Security Professionals,

 

Our campus is looking at implementing a policy for screensaver timeouts
and we are wondering if anyone else currently has this type of policy in
place.
If you do have a policy on screensaver timeouts, how many minutes do you
require before the screensaver is activated?
