Hi,
I have a service account that used to login to several workstations across multiple sites. These workstations display are need to stay on. But because of our GPO, it's going to the sleep mode.
Without finding these devices and excluded from the GPO.
Can we apply the setting for this service account to force not to sleep? Or any better solution?

Hello,
Thank you for posting here.
1.How do you configure the following group policy settings (User configuration or Computer configuration) with detailed screenshot?
2.If it is user configuration, do you apply the setting to service account?
User configuration > Preferences > Control Panel Settings > Power Options
3.If it is computer configuration, do you apply the setting to several workstations?
Computer configuration > Preferences > Control Panel Settings > Power Options
4.Does it work?
Best Regards,

Hi,
You can disable the sleep mode by creating a GPO, this would be the easiest option.
