From Birch Grove Software, Inc.
Screen Pass is a screen locking system for Windows® that extends the capability of the standard workstation lock and gives network administrators complete control over idle workstations.
With Screen Pass, network administrators can enforce screensaver password use, screensaver timeout, and screen saver selection. Advanced features include automatic logout, automatic shutdown, customizable administrator override, and auditing of all logon/logoff and lock/unlock events.
Intended primarily for workstations connected to Novell Netware or Microsoft networks, Screen Pass can be distributed and managed remotely with or without group policy. The central management feature makes Screen Pass ideal for small, medium, and large networks - anywhere that security of idle workstations is a concern. Assists compliance with federal regulations such as HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and FISMA.
Screen Pass technical support is unlimited and free by phone, email and online

Features
Enforce password security
After Screen Pass is installed on a workstation, the user is prevented from turning off the password protection for the screen saver. In addition, the administrator has control over the screen saver timeout period by enforcing maximum and minimum timeouts and control over the screen saver grace period, the time after which the screen saver becomes active and before the workstation becomes locked.
Unlock workstations with 'true' administrator override
An administrator can enter his or her ID and password to unlock the workstation. Note that that with Screen Pass the workstation is simply unlocked; the existing logon session is not terminated. This differs from the standard functionality in the Windows where the current user is logged off, unsaved application data is lost, and the administrator is logged onto a new session.
Centrally control security options
Administrators can remotely manage all Screen Pass settings using the Screen Pass Group Policy template. Or use the the Screen Pass Administrator tool to configure individual workstations locally or remotely.
Logout idle workstations
After administrator defined idle period has exceeded. Screen Pass can be configured to automatically logout if the screen saver is running and inactivity continues past a second administrator defined timeout. The automatic logout can also be configured to occur after an admin defined time of day. During automatic logout unsaved changes in open applications are discarded. The automatic logout action can be set to logout, restart, shutdown, or powerdown.
Limit screen saver selection
That are available to the user. With Screen Pass the administrator can limit the screen saver selections available to the user. The allowable screen savers can be specified by filename (without the path) or by description (as it appears in the Display Properties dialog). The enumerated screen savers can serve as a list that is to be included (permitted) or excluded.
Set a Bouncing Image Screen Saver
That can be configured to display company logo or admin defined image. Although Screen Pass can be configured to work with any screen saver, it includes the Bouncing Image screen saver, which displays a bouncing image on the screen. By default the bouncing image is a combination lock. The user may select an alternative Image using the Screen Pass Bouncing Image dialog which is accessible from the Display Properties dialog. Supported formats are .BMP, .GIF, .JPG, .ICO, .EMF, and .WMF. The administrator can specify the default image and all allowed images. The allowed images are identified by filename (including the path) or by directory in which case all images in the directory are allowed.
Record events to application event log or text file
Including locking, unlocking, login events, etc. With Screen Pass, Administrators can record the following workstation events. Logon Logoff Lock Unlock Failed unlock attempts Admin overrides Failed admin overrides Autologout The time/date, current user, workstation name, logon authority and other details are included in the event records which are written to the Application Event Log or to a comma delimited text file.
