The previous method, while effective, means that I am constantly calling or having to travel to remote branches just to wake up a computer if that user wasn't set up to remote into their computer. This is the first time we are doing this through a GPO. I didn't think that was needed, and that the Policy settings were enough to prevent a computer from going to sleep.īefore Windows 10, we would manually configure the settings in Windows 7 for each user that needed to remote in when deploying their computer. The GPO settings I am using are under Policies, not Preferences, so I am not creating/modifying a power plan. The GPO is definitely applying the settings.
GPO is set to apply to the computer, not the user.Ĭorrect, If I log into his computer I cannot change the power settings from there, they're all greyed out. The problem has persisted for the entire last two weeks that he's been on vacation. It has been this way since his computer was upgraded to Windows 10 (on the 25th or 27th of August). Help! I've completely run out of things to Google and try. Windows 10 was deployed from an image of a fresh install (only had Office installed with Windows - The Majority of Windows "Apps" were removed). As does running gpresult /v on the client system. Group Policy modelling and results from a Domain Controller shows that all the policies are being applied correctly. No amount of prodding (including closing his ticket) will change his behaviour.
I haven't been able to reboot the computer in question as the user insists on leaving his profile logged in with the session disconnected. This is happening at random times, in the morning, in the afternoon, in the middle of the night - which makes me think that it's not a BIOS setting). I can see in the Windows event log that his computer is definitely going to sleep (Event ID 42 - The system is entering sleep. Powercfg /l is set to "high performance". Powercfg /a says that all sleep states and hibernate is disabled (I did powercfg /h off).
Auto sleep with Open Network Files = Disabled Allow apps to prevent auto sleep (plugged in) = Enabled GPO settings are (if plug/battery is not specified, the setting is for both) - These are Policies, not Preferences: This is a problem because he cannot remote into his computer in the morning. A user's computer is continually going to sleep when left unattended.
