Hi SirGreyFox29

do you disable the screensaver via GPO? and the GPO works fine?

GPO: User Configuration==>Policies==>Administrative Templates==>Control Panel/Display==>"screensaver ......."

or you disable the screensaver in the masterimage?

Second shot

do you set an sso timeout limit?

By default it should be disabled.

Procedure

1	Start the ADSI Edit utility on your View Connection Server host.
2	Select or connect to DC=vdi, DC=vmware, DC=int.
3	On the object CN=Common, OU=Global, OU=Properties, set the pae-SSOCredentialCacheTimeout attribute to the new SSO timeout limit in minutes. The default value is 15. A value of -1 means that no SSO timeout limit is set. A value of 0 disables SSO.

On remote desktops, the new SSO timeout limit takes effect immediately. You do not need to restart the View Connection Server service or the client computer.

On desktops that run in local mode, the new SSO timeout  limit takes effect the next time a client computer that hosts the local  desktop sends a heartbeat message to View Connection Server.
