So this is an issue we've been having for a while now, with no rhyme or reason that I can find.
We have a screensaver GPO set for only Win7 machines, and we configured it for the "Blank" screensaver (scrnsave.scr)
On the majority of machines, it works as expected. When going to Personalize, screen saver is set to "Blank."
However, on random machines, the screen saver is set to "None."
Therefore, the screensaver never kicks on (despite having a GPO configuring the timeout for 10 minutes.)
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a cause. I run gpupdate on affected machines, no change. I run RSOP for the machine, and it displays the GPOs are being applied.
It almost seems the only way to resolve the issue is to reimage the machine, but that's not exactly a preferred "fix."
Our Win7 image is standardized. We apply the same WIM to all machines, along with sysprep and the usual stuff. So our machines are identical regarding the OS.
Any ideas on how to try and find the root cause and a resolution?
