system locks after a period of inactivity

[Bert Levesque]

this server 2003 enterprise edition, with S1 installed, is being used as
stand alone for ISS access. It runs a unique application, and only one and
has no other computers logging into it. I start up and log in as
administrator. When the system is idle for a while, it locks up and I need
to use Ctl+alt+del to restart and must of course re-enter the p/w.

Is there a way that I can disable this function? This system will be in a
member area, and no administrator will be on site at all time.

Make sure that your power management is not configured to allow standby
after a period of inactivity. If this is not the case make sure APM is
installed correctly and check BIOS settings.

You can disable the Ctl-Alt-Del requirement by editing your local GPO. goto
Run-type gpedit.msc once it comes up goto computer configuration - Windows
Settings-local policies-security options From there you will see the require
Ctl-Alt-Del setting. Disable it and you will not see it anymore. You will
also need to modify your screen-saver/power settings per Andrea's post if you
do not want the screen to turn off.
