You are an administrator for a large company that has an Active Directory domain. Your company has tablets
that run Windows RT.
Users report that their tablets get locked after one minute of inactivity. They also report that when they change
the Personalization setting to 15 minutes, it resets back to 1 minute.
You need to ensure that the lockout time for inactivity is set to 15 minutes.
What should you do?
A.
Log on to the tablets as a local administrator and configure the screensaver wait time and logon options.
B.
Modify Group Policy.
C.
Modify ActiveSync configuration.
D.
Log on to the tablets as a local administrator and run the PowerShell cmdlet Set- ScreenSaverTimeout-Seconds 900.
E.
Configure the local system policy Do not display the lock screen setting to Enabled.
Explanation:
Because it is Windows RT, option ‘C’ is the most logical answer as ActiveSync would beused to manage the
device.
I’ve had my hands on a couple of RT devices and they are pretty much just windows, still a control panel, still a registry. . .I have to say I don’t see how activesync controls the screen saver. I’m not saying it doesn’t because I don’t have one in front of me, but I’m fairly certain you still configure the screen save the same way in RT as you do in pro. can anyone else confirm this answer?

Someone with more experience, please correct me if I am wrong. The key here is the fact that Win RT devices cannot be joined to a domain. So, you can’t do a Group Policy. That’s why “Modify ActiveSync configuration” is the answer.

Yes it is modify activesync configuration
Run ActiveSync cmdlet
-MaxInactivityTimeDeviceLock: ****15 min or other time here******
It keeps changing because the activesync is overriding the personalization settings. Therefore, if you change the activesync to 15 min, it will override the inactivity lockout time to 15min. You can set a local group policy but chances are the activesync will override that also. There may be registry setting you can change but that isn’t an option to choose. SO it’s modify activesync config
