Vista Hybrid Sleep Problem

Schmidtw — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:46:11 +0000

I just built a new system for one of the executives in my company and loaded it with Windows Vista Business. I want to configure the hybrid sleep mode so that when the power option in the start menu is hit, the computer hybrid sleeps (the power button should flash slowly). I want the same function to occur when I press the power button on the tower.

As of now, when I press the power button on the tower or in the start menu, the computer will enter hybrid sleep for a few seconds (the power light will flash as it should) but then it automatically pulls itself out of the sleep and desplays the log on screen again.

I have already tried going into Control Panel>Power Settings and configuring the options there. I have already went into the registry to make sure than the hybrid sleep function is enabled (1), but I am still getting the same results.

Any ideas?

Vista Business (SP1) – logging onto domain and no home folder

Westops — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 23:33:40 +0000

Here’s hoping someone can shed some light on this bizarre problem;

Problem: The users home folder as indicated in AD does not map on Vista Business client with SP1. (e.g. \\server\users$\username)

Description: You can map the ‘home folder’ manually without any problems it just won’t map on login. Everything else appears to be fine, no related errors or warning in the event logs and ‘gporesult’ indicates all clear.

Details:
- 2003 AD / Native Dom Func lvl = 2003
- No significant events on AD servers
- Client = Vista Business SP1
- No errors related to AD/GPO or network on Vista or XP clients
- XP Clients map ‘home folder’ on login without problem
- GPO “Wait for network” set to enabled
- No DNS issues or problems
- No replication issues between AD servers

Side note: Some XP clients have been plagued with losing other drive mappings during login periodically as well which are done through an additional vbs script during login. To date this problem has been considered to be a ‘ghost in the shell’ since it is extremely random and there are numerous clients where it has never happened. Again nothing obvious in the logs anywhere. You can run the vbs script from the client and it will work everytime.

I am well and truly at the end of my sanity so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
