Ours are HP and I'm not aware of such a setting. However this type of
setting would not work for us. I need a screen saver that allows a
administrator to override without logging out the current user.

Just curious, but what make/model of thin-clients are you using? Some,
such as the Wyse OS/Blazer devices will all you to lock the thin-client
session using the domain username/password despite the client not being
part of the domain.

Because the clients are thin clients and don't directly authenticate on
the domain.

Why don't you set the screensaver on the client instead of the server
session?

We have a number of users that access a published desktop. Because of
security concerns they have a screen saver kick in after 20 minutes of
no activate and it requires a password. 

 

My problem is people leave and I need to shutdown their desktop session
so I shadow them and find the screen saver on. I don't have their
password so I can't gracefully close down there session. Is there a
screen saver that allows an admin to over ride it without logging off
the session so I can close their apps gracefully? Any suggestions?
