Guys ... I have been exporting and poking and proding and snapping for what feels like weeks now, trying to figure-out the "magic" bullet for changing power mgmt settings on the user's behalf. Here's my story:
We're almost half-way through a very large XP deployment. We "went-out" with screen-saver set to 10 mins and monitor power-off set to 20 mins (way too short I know, but it wasn;t my call).
Now of course, we want to move screen-saver to 30 mins (still too short imho but none-the-less) and monitor power-off to 1 hour.
Screen saver is a slam-dunk GPO - no probs. Monitor power-off is another matter, power settings (like printers) from a registry standpoint, seems to have one foot in HKCU and one foot in HKLM. In all my snapping and poking - i am getting horrible and inconsistent results.
Question is, has anybody "been there" yet ? The other thing is - has anybody played with, or been able to get powercfg.exe running under Windows XP (not 2K3, where its from (iirc)) ...
Any thoughts, help appreciated.
-Shawn
