Windows 7 - GPO using a duration to lock workstations

We have recently implemented a policy of locking of workstations that does well with some of our users. At this time the setting is locked after 2 hours of inactivity. We had complaints that it is too short (which we're not changing) or it is too long. Finally we will shorten, but at the same time we told users who think that it is too long to hit windows + L or CTRL + ALT + DELETE to lock their screens. Some people think that even if this is too difficult.

My question is, is it possible to configure it so that it hangs at 2 hours, but if users want to make shorter now, they have this ability, is that possible? We have more than 200 machines so we want to make it as universal as possible, but we cannot choose some complain to put in an another ORGANIZATIONAL unit with a different strategy.

Any help is appreciated!

  • Windows 8 100% use of the disc on 3 of my computers! Can not find a solution...

    Hello users of Windows 8.

    I'm running Windows 8 on 3 PCs (2 computers laptops, desktop 1) and I'm going to 100% usage of the disk on each of them. It started on one of my laptops, and then my desktop and now (started about 4 days ago) it happens also on my wife's cell phone. I have lived these forums and many others still looking for corrections of over and over again.

    I started having this problem at the beginning of 2013 on my Toshiba laptop. I waited patiently a correction (which is obviously never) until my office started having the same problem and I started to study the problem myself. I ran across countless people who have the same problem as I am. Some find corrections and some did not. Unfortunately have not yet found a solution to one of my computers running windows 8.

    My PC experience this problem at different times. My laptop experience this problem at startup, and which seems to be irregular intervals, throughout the use. My office has the problem, if I run a game or some programs (e.g. Microsoft Word, a CAD program, Firefox etc.).

    The problem that causes this on my desk is related to the SYSTEM in the Task Manager. I opened "Go to details" and he directs me to (NT Kernel System &) which in turn heading C:\Windows\System32\ntoskrnl.exe.

    The problem that causes this on my laptop is related to the SERVICE HOST: LOCAL SERVICE (usually restricted or sometimes without impersonation network). All lead me to a svchost.exe.

    These are the things that I tried on my laptop and desktop:

    1. update of the BIOS (already had updated versions)
    2. Update ALL my drivers
    3. my AV (Avast!) uninstalled and reinstalled
    4. uninstalled my AV (^ ^ ^) and I tried to use MSE
    5. uninstalled all AVs and tried to start the PC
    6 installed all Windows updates
    7. no installed VirtualBox
    8 disabled indexing files on the C: drive
    9. set to High Performance power management (not worked but would have not left like this on my laptop in any case)
    10 disabled the automatic updates
    11. off fragmented my records
    12 optimization of disk turned off
    13 clean my registry with CCleaner
    14 erased all the options in the Indexing Options
    15 Ran SFC/Scannow in a high CMD
    16 set my virtual memory to a custom size (twice the size of physical memory)
    17 disabled some services others have said are causing the problem. Disabled services:
    A. WSearch (Windows Search)
    B. WMPNetworkSvc (Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service)
    C. Defragsvc
    D. PLA
    E. Sysmain (Superfetch - did not work, but still once, even if that were the case I am not leaving this off service)
    18 start in Safe Mode. (No difference)
    19 run "Repair my computer" from the disc of Windows 8
    20 re-installed Windows 8 on my laptop
    21. much more "patches" the list could go on and. Those who I think are relevant mentioned above

    Computers, on which I tried these are:

    My laptop (Toshiba Satellite C75D, stock)
    My office (Custom, Phenom XII 940 BE CPU, Mobo from ASUS m3a78-em, XFX AMD Radeon GPU HD, 6 GB of ram DDR2 7790)

    I have not tried one of these "Bugs" on my wife's cell phone:

    ASUS X501A

    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    I would also like to know why Microsoft has not yet solved this problem. How many people must experience this problem before you decide to do something. I saw people having this problem dating all the way back for 2012. I saw hundreds if not thousands of people having this problem and trying to find patches online, so I guess that many, many more are not of or don't know they have it.

    As customers, what do we have to do? Menace of a petitions signed by restless customers ready to bombard the BBB complaints if nothing is done? I would absolutely describe Windows 8 with this question like a defective product. Is there anything we can do to listen to Microsoft?

    * Yes, you're right.
    I stopped the automatic updates and deleted everything located on: "X:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download."
    He has become much better. Then I disabled the windows swap files. (using the TuneUp Utilities) and even better. and then stopped defragmentation automatic of all readers and also done the Clean Boot and now the problem has disappeared, and the PC flies! Better than ever.

    I hope that the problem will not return again.

    Never go around everything related to windows updates, as I pushed him suddenly a button to use windows update to install a driver and the PC has been locked again and killed at the use of the disc.

    Here this will help you guys :) *.

    Sorry I forgot to mention: D!

    I think so... This o.o. worked... All of a sudden when I deleted the folder... My machine stopped the 99%... Now remains at 1% oo *? ....

    If you'll notice, you did some update Windows or your pc must have... For example, updates could try to settle... When I deleted the folder it took like 10 minutes to remove.

    After waiting like 10 side my drive keeps 2%, it does not go when iddle!

    It's a nice solution, thanks a lot!

    your welcome my friend.

    If the problem is back once again, try to disable the "superfetch" and "prefetch". It's more important that deleting those files and has the greatest effect on performance.

  • What is a quick way to exit Windows 7 without using the mouse?

    On Windows XP, I could type the window then u and U key to exit.

    On Windows 7 I seem to need the mouse to exit, even if I did stop my setting of the default button.

    In addition, Windows 7 wants to drag me through a few caveats that I've closed everything.

    Sometimes, it's just my email that is open or a file folder, then there is no pending work.

    But I want to just close without the quiz on my understanding of the risks of loss of work, etc..

    I know that some applications such as Norton and Windows update can simply kill all ongoing enforcement programs to restart

    during the installation of updates, so the 'risk' is not worth the constant reading.

    Here are the steps to stop Windows 7 without using the mouse:

    Press Windows (Windows key).
    Release it
    Press the right arrow key
    Press ENTER key

    If you don't want warnings to stop, you can create a shortcut on the desktop with the command-line ' shutdown/f' and assign a key combination.

    See the following link for more shutdown command line options:
    http://www.computerperformance.co.UK/Windows7/windows7_shutdown_command.htm

    Once you create the shortcut icon on the desktop, you right-click on the icon, select Properties. In the shortcut tab, you can assign a key under the shortcut key combination to launch this program.

  • Use Schedule Auto dynamic locking

    Hello

    The configuration is the following:

    My client wants to run 4 devices of individual test on the same PC. Each test set-up will take place at least 4 parallel trials at the same time by using the parallel model. For now, let's assume it's the same sequence is performed in all the plugs and fixtures. That might change, but the same conditions of blocking will be present on the different sequences.

    What I need to do, it is in the stages of locking and resources, both internally in a fixture and through all meetings. This is where my problem lies.

    If I use an ordinary lock, then I can do this, all I do is keep track of this fixture is actually running the steps. I can lock on a parameter, say Parameter.Fixture. Or lock simply ignoring what is actually being run around the world.

    But if I try to use Auto planning then this won't work. IM know not everything as automatic functionality of calendar but it seems that if I use the same parameter, it hangs on the real parameter rather than the value of the parameter contains the. What I tried was to use a chart such as locking, the expression typically would be Locals.Locks [Parameter.Fixture]. But it does very well with performance that threw me an error-17502. I can't use the words double locking as which can allow a simple mounting to acquire both.

    The customer wants to use auto MRP to reduce test times. In general, there is a unique instrument used on all fixtures that would be considered as a unique resource, while some test steps can be run at the same time within a luminaire (radio tests that intereferes through taken).

    Anyone has an idea on how to create a dynamic locking expression that can accept step or I missed something fundamental to automatic planning stage?

    / Nimgaard

    Note that you can get an effect similar to autoscheduling using locks with multiple threads (sequence calls have an option to run in a new thread). If each thread locks the resources he needs, he will be executed when the resource is available. Operations (threads) for a device can run in a different order than those of other share, based on the availability of resources, thus optimizing the flow. If you want to force operations can not overlap, for example for a specific device, you can have each thread locks the resources that it uses both the device he uses.
