Anyone ever find away around Windows computers locking when a user disconnects from ZCentral?

Thanks

Found my own solution outside of ZCentral.

Create the following registry key and Screen Locking is disabled. Best to do it with group policy so you don't need to individually edit each user and so you can use security scopes to only apply this setting to users you need this with. But if you have very few users on a workstation you could just edit those users registry files.

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableLockWorkstation"=dword:00000001

 

Usual registry editing warning: Use at your own risk, modifying the registry can lead to unexpected behavior, etc etc.
