Remove the password protect screen saver, set a logout policy to
autologout/lockdesktop after a certain amount of time of inactivity or
simply log out or lock the desktop when not in use.  Create a domain
user account for them to use and allow them logon rights to the machine
in question.

Will that work?

Subject: Password Protected Screen Saver and Administrative Password


 
 
Does someone know a way to allow a normal user to
release a server password protected screen-saver
without giving the user the administrator password?

I need this so that third-party support can access
our server via GoToMyPC when I am not there.  The
password protected screen-saver blocks them from
remote access to fix problems.  I cannot always be
on-site to assist by supplying the screen-saver
password.
