Summary
This chapter examined configuring desktop settings on both Windows Vista and on Windows Server 2008. We first looked at auditing the name and the type of screen saver that is configured on a computer, then turned our attention to secure screen savers. We showed how to detect if a screen saver is secure, how to perform an audit of the screen saver, and how to write the information to a database. Next we examined power settings. In the power settings section we looked at reporting the current power configuration settings. This useful technique is vital to assisting users in maximizing battery life on portable computing devices. Finally, we concluded the chapter with details about configuring power management settings.
