I have a problem with my windows 7 laptop automatically waking after I put it to sleep and then I find it later with the battery drained. I tracked down the culprit using the "powercfg -lastwake" command to be a Backup task in the "Windows Server" section of the task scheduler.
I have tried unchecking the "Wake the computer to run this task" checkbox for this task, but after I do this and reboot, the box is always rechecked again. How can I make this setting persist? I have full admin rights to this laptop, but it is on a domain.
Edit: I looked into the domain policy settings as suggested by Dave below and did not find any policies related to scheduled task settings. Any other ideas?
Where will I find such a task policy if it exists in the gpedit.msc tool? I am not very familiar with the domain policies. Thanks! – KyleL – 2012-10-03T12:54:16.660
you can run
gpresult
at the administrator command prompt to determine the group policy the domain is giving you. thenrsop.msc
to see the settings in the policy. – d4v3y0rk – 2012-10-03T13:08:13.230Based on the output from gpresult /r and rsop.msc I do not see any policies related to task settings. I will update my question to indicate this. – KyleL – 2012-10-03T13:41:52.730
