Power policies

Power/AllowStandbyWhenSleepingPluggedIn

Home Pro Business Enterprise Education Mobile Mobile Enterprise
cross mark check mark check mark check mark check mark cross mark cross mark

This policy setting manages whether or not Windows is allowed to use standby states when putting the computer in a sleep state.

If you enable or do not configure this policy setting, Windows uses standby states to put the computer in a sleep state.

If you disable this policy setting, standby states (S1-S3) are not allowed.

Tip

This is an ADMX-backed policy and requires a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.

You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For an example SyncML, refer to Enabling a policy.

The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

ADMX Info:

  • GP english name: Allow standby states (S1-S3) when sleeping (plugged in)
  • GP name: AllowStandbyStatesAC_2
  • GP ADMX file name: power.admx
