Process
This script uses global variables to configure the number of seconds before a screen locks. By default, this script imports with this set at 900 seconds. This setting can be configured in the script's global variables section if your best practices differ from the ones configured in the script. The script runs two PowerShell scripts to create a GPO based on the parameters set in the script. If the parameter Apply to entire domain is null, the GPO will not link to the entire domain, and vice versa.
