Require password after sleep or screen saver begins

[m_schilling]

Hi folks,

thats my first Discussion and i hope someone can help me.
I've got a mcx that set the requierd password after sleep or screen saver begins to immidiatly.
There are some clients, that receives this mcx, and everything seems to be okay.
But on other clients it is not set to immidiatly, it's set to five seconds and some other are set to 5 Minutes.
Has anyone the same problem and can help me anyway?

Are you using managed preferences or config profiles?
Are you running the same version of MacOS on all clients?

I would avoid Managed Preferences at all costs.

We have this issue as well. This is a known issue with MacOS High Sierra. This article explains it....

You have to be very specific on which profiles are pushed and the values they contain. Make sure you don't have any overlapping profiles.
