Yeah, but I wanted to give you (and the EZ GPO) some support ;) -----Original Message----- From: Free, Bob [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2009 7:54 PM To: Active Directory Admin Issues Subject: RE: WinXP Pro GPO
I think we said the same thing :-) -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Wimberly [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 11:44 AM To: Active Directory Admin Issues Subject: RE: WinXP Pro GPO Actually with a schema extension you can run the CSE from a 2003 R2 domain. There is an update for Windows XP and Vista that allows you to use the GPP on both. Although for power on XP machines, I've been using the EZ_GPO power tool since 2001 and have found it to be very stable, so no need to change anything to GPP just yet here. -----Original Message----- From: Free, Bob [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 5:39 PM To: Active Directory Admin Issues Subject: RE: WinXP Pro GPO Not natively supported but the Feds have had an add in called EZ GPO for quite some time. You could also employ Group Policy Preferences from Vista/2008 server. You can run GPP on a downlevel client/domain. This would require a Vista or Server 08 machine to create and manage the preferences, and the client-side extensions to be installed on the clients. http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=power_mgt.pr_power_mgt_ez_gpo EZ GPO at a Glance: * Provides centralized control of user power management settings (monitor power management, system standby, and hibernate) in Windows 2000 and XP * Requires no special hardware or network processes * Is offered under a BSD style open source license and has no licensing fees From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 10:20 AM To: Active Directory Admin Issues Subject: WinXP Pro GPO Is there a way to set the power settings on a WinXP Pro machine by GPO in AD?
