We have about 2,000 users who mostly use terminal services/thin clients.
However, we have about 200 PCs/laptops. I want to be able to force some/most
of those PCs to have power settings that put them into Standby after 30
minutes of idle time. Can anyone help me do this?
The problems that I seem to have are:-
1) the power settings seem to be a user based policy, not a machine based
policy. Obviously, I have to avoid users putting a terminal server into
Standby if they are idle! So this seems to prevent me applying a policy to
specific machines.
2) Non-admin accounts can't set power settings. So this seems to prevent me
putting anything into their login script which sets the power settings, if
they log in to a PC that I want to go into standby.
I seem to be trying to save the planet but stuck in the classic Catch 22.
Can anyone help?
Cheers
