Hello!
I have a few XP Pro SP3 computers on an ancient SBS 2000 domain and I am
trying to prevent the workstations from EVER going to sleep or turning off
the NIC so that they can be accessed remotely at any time.
I cannot find a group policy to disable the "Allow the computer to turn off
this device..." setting. I have "powercfg /hibernate off" in the login
script to prevent hibernation. I also need to stop all NICs from going to
sleep. I can uncheck the boxes to not allow them to be put to sleep, but
something re-enables that feature within a few minutes or upon reboot.
Power schemes are all set to Always On.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Gregg's pet peeves:
First of all, what does a peeve look like, and why would anyone want one as
a pet?
Peeve #1: Apostrophes: when in doubt, leave them out! You will be correct
more often than not.
Its = Belonging to it. For example, "Look at the sky. Its color is blue."
It's = It is. For example, "It's hot today."
It's = It has. For example, "It's been nice talking to you."
Its' = completely incorrect usage. Stop it!
Peeve #2: Your vs. You're
"Your" means belonging to you, as in, "It's your truck."
"You're" means "You are." Example, you're probably about ready to throttle
me for this peeve!
