In my AD domain, I turned on setting PCs (Vista &amp;&nbsp;higher) to go to sleep after 1 hr of inactivity via GPO. &nbsp;That was working great. &nbsp;However, now I need one PC to remain on and not go to sleep. &nbsp;I deleted that power config from the GPO but it is still not allowing me to set the Sleep duration on the PC (running Server 2K8 - it is not a DC). &nbsp;How do I get this enabled again? &nbsp;I really don't care that people then have access to set it on their own again. &nbsp;I would prefer that it remain at 1 hour for everyone (but just now editable) - I hope I don't need to make everyone's set to not sleep at all. &nbsp;Thanks for the assistance.
