Configure machines to never sleep or power off in Active Directory Server 2008 R2
Posted on 2012-12-20
Experts,
Can someone suggest the best method to configure power settings in AD? Would this best be configured in the login script or in a GPO? I need to set all machiens in the domain to never power off or go to sleep. Help will be appreciated!
Thank you.
