GPO to turn off NIC power management?

[Guest]

Is there a place in GPO to turn off the option in the NIC to "allow the
computer to turn off this device to save power" and/or the USB Root Hub power
saving option? My goal is to always keep the power to the USB hub for devices
connected to it, and to allow remote acces to the PC. It seems that when the
PC turns off the NIC, remote connectivity is not possible. THanks for the
help!

Hi,

This would be a BIOS power option. I had to go into the BIOS of all my
machines and disable the "shutdown" NIC to save power. IBM was
really bad for this.
