Darren, It only appears to ignore the user policies during a background refresh when a scheme is also configured on the computer side. If I remove all computer side configuration then it behaves as I want it to. The scheme with highest precedence is applied regardless of background/foreground refresh. Strange to say the least...

I will forward to MS and see what they say.

There appears to be something different between a foreground and background refresh in this case. Here's another test I just did: 1) Computer Configuration set to apply "Always On" scheme (GPO has lowest precedence) 2) User configuration set to apply "Home/Office Desk" scheme 3) User configuration set to apply "Portable/Laptop" scheme (GPO has highest precedence and should win out regardless of foreground/background refresh). 4) Manually set scheme to "Max Battery" 5) Reboot machine 6) Logon as user affected by policies 2 & 3. Power scheme is set to "Portable/Laptop" (as expected). 7) Run gpupdate 8) Power scheme is set to "Always On" from GPO in step 1. So, it appears that the schemes I configured on the user side are being totally ignored when GPP processes during a background refresh. Surely this is not by design is it?

There is an option to only refresh once. You're sure that that user power setting does not have that option set?
