探花大神

Unattended Windows devices that are active with a user that is still logged in can create opportunities for unauthorized access to information and misuse of accounts. As an IT Admin, you can remotely apply a policy to lock one inactive device or your entire fleet of devices in your organization.

探花大神鈥檚 Lock Screen Policy automatically locks the screen and turns on the screen saver if a managed device is inactive for a specified period of time. The policy requires the user to enter the device password to unlock the screen. 探花大神 also provides a Lock Screen Policy for Linux and Mac devices.

The Lock Screen Policy can lock an inactive device only after mandatory OS processes have completed. There are other settings the user can specify to activate the screensaver with an interval of time that differs from your policy.

Considerations

• If you鈥檙e experiencing delays with the Lock Screen Policy, request that all users to log out and back in to all devices. 
• When you apply the Lock Screen Policy to devices for the first time, all users are required to log out and back in before the policy takes effect.
• When you modify the Timeout value, all users are required to log out and back in before the policy changes take effect.
• When you uninstall the Lock Screen Policy, it immediately stops being enforced.
• If you uninstall and then reinstall the Lock Screen Policy, it鈥檚 immediately enforced. However, the Timeout value in the uninstalled policy is the one 探花大神 uses. To reset the old value to the value in the newly reinstalled policy, all users are required to log out and back in.
• Many settings affect screen locking, including the following:
  • 探花大神 Lock Screen Policy Timeout
  • Screen Saver Settings
  • Power and Sleep Settings

The shortest setting is the one that takes effect first.
