That would be correct. A default installation of 2000/XP, annoyingly so, has the network card hardware set to "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" even on the server versions. If you go to the properties of your LAN connection and selct the Configure button for the network card hardware, then go to Power Management, you'll see it.

there is an option somewhere (I think in the N/W card settings) to allow the OS to power it off to save energy - there's probably an associated reg key you could use to roll out the change.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Power Save mode

Hello,

Has anyone ever had a problem with xp-2000 clients not being pingable when the desktop goes into power save mode?

It happens to a handful of clients each night, which means nightly updates etc. are not happening.

I think I have checked all of the options on the client machines but some just do not respond until the space bar

Has been touched then they are fine.

 

Thank you,

 

Jerry
