I completely forgot about that setting. That did it. The Shutdown/Standby on the console works now. Though the vda-service fired it right up again.. The automatic standby in the power options doesn't seem to be working though. Just tried a 1 minute standby, then a 15min.

Does having an RDP session active disable (or keep reseting the standby counter)?

If this did work, wouldn't the vda service power it up again, even with no user activity?

There are two things which need to be done for the suspension on idleness to happen, you need to set the timeout within the XP OS itself for the machine to go into Standby mode in the Power Options of the Control Panel, and you also have to edit the properties of the VM through the VI client, by selecting Edit Settings, then the Options tab, and there the Power Management option to choose the "Suspend the virtual machine" option when the XP OS goes into Standby. The mention about the GPO in the cookbook is only related to the first step (setting the timeout in XP).

I'm not sure if that's what you've already done, but I thought I'd mention since it seems easy to miss the second step.
