Re: Timeout/Lockout Settings

["King, Ronald A." <raking () NSU EDU>]

We set the screensaver timeout to 1800 seconds and it locks.  It is
distributed through group policies.  It was easy to implement from a "why"
standpoint as the state of Virginia requires an inactivity computer locking
implementation.

I am curious to know how other peer institutions are setting up their
timeout/lockout settings.  

How are you enforcing the timeouts (pointsec, windows settings,
screensaver,etc)?

How long must the PC be inactive for the timeout setting to take effect? Do
the time limits vary based on user?

Thanks all!
