Hi,
My site is running all XP clients with a Server 2008 R2 DC. Recently certain clients within a certain OU have been adopting 'portable/laptop' power schemes and I am banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why.
I've been using one affected machine as a test machine and so far have come up with no solutions. What I've tried to do is use the built in GPO power settings in Server 2008 R2 and apply them to the policy affecting this particular machines OU. I've created a new scheme and set it to both replace and update the existing scheme without luck. I have also tried doing this under computer and user configs in the policy.
The test machine has the required CSE KB installed, and after running a GPRESULT report is seems to be pulling down the correct policy, yet it still ignores this particular setting. There are no errors in the event logs either.
Can anyone offer any suggestions please? I'd really like to use GPO powers settings rather than hack some sort of startup script instead.
I'll be happy to post any error reports if it will help.
