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) to view the report
- The report on "Display turn off after" is 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 are in seconds for the section on "Display turn off after"!
- Clicking on a number of computers next to a certain value will resent a list of all of the computers with that value
