Dear Lanwench,

Is this the default behaviour of Windows, because there is no screen saver
enabled for the users on the PC's.

However please tell me how should i configure the GPO on my AD to disable
this automatic locking of workstations.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

First, you need to see what GPO is *setting* this. Try running rsop.msc on
the clients.

I believe you have an identical message/thread going in one of the other
groups - please stick to that thread.
