You can set the screensaver to appear, say after 15 minutes, and lock the
machine.

Easiest way to do this domain wide is by enabling the password protected
screen saver via the default domain policy.

Right click you domain in AD Users and Computers
Go to User Config -> Administrative Templates -> Control Panel -> Display
Once there configure:
Hide Screen Saver Tab : Enabled
Screen Saver: Enabled
Password Protect the Screen Saver: Enabled

Using this config, users can't change the fact that they have a password
protected Screen Saver. You can configure whatever you need - take a look
at the entries to get the desired result.

Hope it helps,
