Locking inactive client's automatically !

Broken In
In our sbs 2003 domain environment, the clients' pc's inactive for default period will be locked out automatically and only Ctrl+ Alt + Del & client password combination will unlock the client's pcs.

Recently around 9 months before, all our client's pc's joined the new sbs 2011 but (usually all are locking with Win+L key combination manually)the auto lock feature is not working from the beginning onwards. Now only I am brought up with this issue by clients.

Please help me set that option!

Thanks & Regards

Edit the Default Domain Policy>>User Config>>Admin Templates>>Control
Panel>>Display>>Password Protect Screen Saver (and Screen Saver Timeout).

i have never used domain group policy but it seems like one has to activate screensaver 1st then only password protect & timeout option works.
How to enforce password protected screen saver globally? - Windows-2000-NT-General-Discussion - Windows-2000-NT
Open or create a group policy at the proper level (domain or OU) navigate to
user config - admin templates - control panel - display.
Set the Activate screen saver - Screen saver exe (all computers must have
the exe for this to work) - Password protect - and screen saver time out.
