Group Policy Power Settings for Windows 7, 8 and 10

[talksr]

Hi,

 

Can anyone give me any help on running a group policy setting to prevent users from placing a computer on stand by?

We have been plauged with users leaving systems on standby which eventually breaks the domain trust relationship.

 

We have a server 2012 with Windows 7 and 8 clients, plus some 10 clients by the end of the week.

 

I would like to be able to prevent them from putting the computers/laptops onto standby by hiding standby as a shutdown option in the start menu, making the system ignore power button pushes and lid closures.

 

Can this be achieved in server 2012?

 

Also, is there any way of logging off an inactive user account?

Does anybody have any ideas on this?

This any help? Preventing computer from going into sleep mode

 

You can control what the power button/lid does in a nearby area of GP.

 

Also found this that may help with logging off: Force User Log Off (RDS, Server 2008) - Spiceworks or just use this: Automatically logoff inactive users | Remote Administration For Windows

 

Might try these later this holiday!
