Re: Disable Standby on a Laptop for all users?

Sounds like it would be a good idea to get this computer in your hands and
create a default user profile. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319974

You can also do this with a GPO but it is a little more involved. You would
need to create a login script then apply the GPO to that computer only (you
can use security filtering for this) and enable loopback processing. This
would effectively limit the changes to the standby mode to that computer
only and for every user logging into that computer. You can use this KB to
help you with the proper registry permissions and whatnot:

Good luck!

Hi Jack,

I don't want to set up logon scripts for this, because the problem is
specific to ONE laptop, not every user in the domain. Bear in mind also,
that if I change their power options, it will affect the power options on
ANY computer they log into, including desktop computers.

Find the appropriate registry settings for the power options and export
them to a .reg file. You may then import that .reg file during the
user's login script using the following command:

regedit /s [path\to\file.reg]

Alternatively, ScriptLogic's products Desktop Authority and Desktop
Authority Express will allow you to write registry changes when the
user logs in.

Good luck.
