Screen lock allows a computer when idle for a certain amount of time to lock itself, requiring re-entering the user's credentials. This prevents the situation of a user leaving the computer accessible to all, ensuring data is not compromised. Cornell policy recommends every 15 minutes or less of idle time.
Windows
(As of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, all computers are automatically set to lock when idle. Only the idle timing can be changed)
- Settings → System → Power & Sleep
- The setting for screen is the amount of time left idle before the display turns off and the computer locks
CM
- Monitoring → Reporting → Reports → Power Management - Power Settings
- Choose the collection (ex: AS-CHM-Dept-all) and "View Report" to generate the report. May seem somewhat slow, but in reality it is generating a pretty large report.
- The reports on "Display turn off after" (first setting listed) and "Require a password on wake up" (third setting listed) (both for plugged in and on battery) are most useful in this case; However, the report will list most if not all of the power related settings.
- IMPORTANT: Keep in mind the values regarding times are in seconds (ex: the section on "Display turn off after")!
- Clicking on the number of computers next to a certain value will present a list of all of the computers with that value
