Is this a Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003?  If it
is, then you should consider terminal services  in maintenance
mode.  It requires no additional license purchases (two are free)
and your vendor can connect without going through a fourth 
party's server equipment (GoToMyPC)(trusted?/untrusted?) 
to get there.  They would log in as themselves (event logging 
good) and their access rights can be controlled. In terminal 
services, they also would not see your screen saver as they 
would have their own session/desktop/etc.

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.
