I have been using EZ GPO for years, just for turning off the monitor on Windows 2000 and Windows XP machines.
Recently we have been using it to be a bit more aggressive, put the computer to sleep... my challenge was _not_ to turn off those computers that are used by users off campus for remote desktop, so I created a WMI filter that bypasses machines on Static IP Addresses. (we only use static IP for remote access.) -----Original Message----- From: Matt Cross [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2008 11:45 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: GPO settings for power management?
