Hi,
I have a question with Screen Saver function in a Virtual Machine. The version of Virtual Studio is 2.3.1. This a domain.
Does any one here know of a work around for the screensaver function to work in Virtual Machines via DRDC?
I have followed the work arounds in KBAs AP-0800-0075, NK-1400-0046 and NK-1700-0295. But the work-arounds did not work.
I am not sure if using GPO to configure the screensaver settings in Virtual Machines is applicable.
I appreciate for any inputs, suggestions
Hi Nap,
I have run into a similar issue when using a thin client to connect to a DeltaV operator station via RDP. In an RDP session, Microsoft disables the On Idle detection capabilities that would normally launch the screen saver.
In my case, I was using the DeltaV screen saver to perform a DeltaV user auto-logout. To achieve this I did 2 things:
The System Scheduler application is a Windows Task Scheduler replacement. It it not limited when an RDP session is connected to the host system. Configuration of an On Idle task is pretty simple. The only challenging part is knowing how to launch the screen saver itself. Here are the file paths for the DeltaV screen saver:
x32: C:\Windows\System32\DeltaVScreenSaver.scr
Good luck!
Dave
