Actually, this is not exposed through Power Options but through Device Manager. As such, you could probably rig up a custom ADM (or use the Group Policy Preferences registry extension to manage this). The challenge will be if all your systems have different keyboard and mouse types because the reg key path will likely change for each type. For example, for my keyboard, enabling this option tweaks the following reg value. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HID\VID_03F9&PID_0100\6&4a fcd5b&0&0000\Device Parameters] "WaitWakeEnabled"=dword:00000001 Darren -----Original Message----- From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Nelson, Jamie Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2008 4:48 PM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: GPO for Power Management Although the EZ GPO stuff was pretty handy back in the day, the new FREE Group Policy Preference extensions (formerly DesktopStandard PolicyMaker) have much more flexible options for power management (and a TON of other stuff) in Windows XP (Vista has native support for Power Management via group policy). The only catch is that you must 1) have a Server 2008 or Vista SP1 RSAT GPMC console from which to create/edit the policy and 2) you must deploy the GPP CSE to all of the client systems you want to manage. I'm not 100% sure if what you're asking can be done even with GPP though, as I don't have a console to play around in at the moment. Maybe one of the other list members can look for us. Either way, however, that option should be enabled by default on motherboards where USB and/or PS/2 wakeup is available. Worst case you could probably script out those settings and apply them at computer startup.

But for the computer to be put into Stand-by mode and then brought out of standby mode using the keyboard or mouse the options under each devices Power Management tab needs to be checked to "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standy". Is there a way to create a GPO for Windows XP that would be able to do this? Thanks. ____________________________________________________________ Click here to choose from a huge selection of shipping supplies! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2131/fc/Ioyw6iigT3dkh11La5XDuR5sGD2f JMWv6l6S3eBKPnBoARRUqBS68i/ *********************** You can unsubscribe from gptalk by sending email to gptalk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the freelists.org Web interface.
