This is actually the direction I'm trying to take now. &nbsp;I was hoping there was someway through WMI to do this. &nbsp;Thanks for your comment.

I'm trying to enable the mouse to wake up computers from standby across my enterprise. &nbsp;About 9000 windows XP machines. &nbsp;I've tried writing a vbscript to alter the registry for this, but I've found it's nearly impossible to determine what the registry key will be from machine to machine. &nbsp;I've also looked into using powercfg.exe /deviceenablewake devicename, but here I also run into the problem where I can't figure out what the devicename will be from machine to machine as it changes. &nbsp;Does anybody know of a way to do this?

Method to allow mouse to wake computer from standby across enterprise

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
