Gekko_uk Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Morning All,(well its morning here).I have a problem that is driving me mad...How do I control/modify Power settings on my XP clients accross the company via GPO?I am using Single domain on Server 2008R2.All my XP clients have power managment settings locked/set to Monitor off after 15 and Standby after 15.I would like to make diff polices for different machines.I stumbled accross - and http://www.terranovum.com/projects/energystar/ez_gpo.php.But dont know what to do with them.I did find the "preferences" section in GPO policy editor on Server, but tried to no avail and I did a bit of reading and it only seems to apply to Win Vista > systems.Any help greatly appreciated..

Tripredacus Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Yeah, both SecPol and GPO for power options was introduced in Vista. However that page you linked to had an ADM file you can create and import it. However you may need to have that ADM file on the XP Clients as well, I'm not really sure. But this is a supported option using POWERCFG with AD:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/915160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen2 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 No custom adm file don't need to be copied on target comp but might be needed on DC or computer when you need to edit this gpo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
