Symptoms

When you use Group Policy to configure the power plan in a domain, power options do not work correctly on a client computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.For example, you use Group Policy to configure the Allow hybrid sleep setting to OFF. However, you may notice that the Allow hybrid sleep setting is set to ON instead of to OFF on a client computer that is running Windows 7.

Cause

This issue occurs because the index value setting in Group Policy is the opposite of the index value setting in Windows Power Management.
