Issues with Docking station -> Laptop -> Sleep (power setting)
I have a bunch of Lenovo laptops working in Docking stations..
I have a GPO that tells the computers to 'Sleep' if they dont use the machine for 30 minutes.
Hibernation is set to 3 hours.. and nobody ever reaches that.
Now here is the problem.. when the computers to go sleep in the docking station.
Users Arent able to wake them Again using their USB keyboard and mouse..
They physically need to either open the lid.. or press the 'turn on' button on the docking station.
It is very annoyning and I know for a fact it isn 't suppose to be like this.
Or at least can be different.
What could prevent wake on computers from usb inputs?
