Hi

Take a look at winexit.hlp/winexit.scr in the Win2k3 Server Resource Kit.

The Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit downloadable from

Hi

The screensaver is to be installed (copied to the system32 folder) of the
clients, so it doesn't matter what OS the server is running. I just tested the
winexit.scr in the Win2k3 Server Resource Kit on a Win2k Pro computer, and it
worked fine, and it will surely work ok on a WinXP computer.
