RE: [ActiveDir] Screensaver GPO not applying?

[Salandra, Justin A.]

The GPO does not look at the PATH variable on each PC, it processes what it is told only, it does not make assumptions.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Wassell Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 12:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Screensaver GPO not applying?   Hmm.. I thought if the files were located in that location the path did not need to be specified.   I'll give it a shot...   Thanks!   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Salandra, Justin A.

You must have in the GPO %systemroot%\system32\logon.scr for this to work correctly.  Just having the file name will not work.  This is how I do it and I have no problems.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Wassell Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 12:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Screensaver GPO not applying?   I posted this elsewhere but have gotten no responses yet.  Thought I would post it here also to try to gather some opinions.   Workstations are mixed 2000 / XP professional.  DC's are Windows 2003 and domain is running in Windows 2003 native mode.   Desired screensaver is logon.scr.  Default installation path for logon.scr is %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\.  Path is not specified in GPO, only filename.   RSoP shows that the policies are processing properly.  The setting seems to apply properly to XP machines but not to 2000 machines.   Has anyone else seen or heard of this problem before?   I did find a MSKB article regarding the symptom, but it only mentions that the symptom occurs in Windows 2000 domains, and pre-SP3 Windows 2000 machines, neither of which are the case.  For anyone curious here is a link:   http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=305357   Michael Wassell Network Administrator PT Marketing Group Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222 Phone:  412-471-8995  /  Fax: 412-471-8695
