Hello John,
Sorry didn't mean to take over your thread or infer that your responses
had
any sort of issue.
Group Policy is certainly a consideration when talking about power
management issues since there are more group policy selections available
in
Windows Vista.
I simply wanted to get more people also looking at using powercfg -a as
option.
This should show hardware or driver related issues that may be preventing
power management options from being available.
As a test, one could disable the video driver, you fall back to the
standard VGA driver which doesn't do power maangement.
Then run powercfg -a and look at the output. It should point to teh video
driver as the issue..
This option has been available since Windows Server 2003 released but I
rarely see people try it.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
