Microsoft network server: Amount of idle time required before susp

[Guest Jim]

I am doing reserch on this because people are asking to set this to all the

servers in our domain.

 

There were a number of Internet articles that state the default for this

setting is 15 minutes. I also have seen other internet articles suggesting

that you set this to 15 minutes.

 

Do Windows servers, by default, have this already configured or are the

articles suggesting the policy should be set to 15 mins?

Windows Servers do not go to suspended (sleep) mode by default.

I have never configured any server to go to sleep mode, and I was never

asked to do so.

Had I been asked to do so, I would strongly object.

 

The workstations, however, are different story.
