I have a client who has bought several Windows 8 Pro tablets for use in his company. They are all joined to the domain. He has one request for managing them. That is to NOT require a password when the table is resumed from sleep.
I have created a GPO where in User Configuration | Policies | Administrative Templates | System | Power Management the policy of "Prompt for password on resume from hibernate/suspend" is set to Disabled. Also at Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | System | Power Management | Sleep Settings, the policies of "Require a password when a computer wakes (on battery)" and "Require a password when a computer wakes (plugged in)" are both set to Disabled.
The GPO is linked to the OU where tablets are put in and the Security Filtering is set for Authenticated Users and Domain Computers.
The power management on the tablet itself is set to not ask for a password when waking.
With all the above set, when you press the power button on the tablet to put it to sleep and then press it again to wake it up, it is still asking for the password.
I have looked in the registry at the location where the GPO History is stored and it shows the GPO there so I'm sure it's getting applied.
Anyone have any idea what else to look for or to do to set these tablets so they do NOT ask for a password when resuming from sleep?
