Disable "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" using GPO or Powershell

Question

Hi,

I wanted to disable "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" to group of Laptops and Desktops.

I get the information from below URL.

It seems this cannot be deployed by GPO because DeviceID in the registry may be different for each Desktops and Laptops for Ethernet adaptor .

Powershell script required permission to the \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\ before the modification

Please help whether this can be achieved by GPO or by creating a package using SCCM.

Have you tried using a power plan to never sleep?

We may achieve this via the Powershell script, to achieve the script, we can refer to this article: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2239276-script-help-to-disable-power-management-on-network-cards which have the same problem with you.
Note: This is not from MS, just for your reference.

For the script, I also perform a test in the lab. You may try it in your environment to see if it works either.

Here's the screenshot for your reference:
Add a step "Run PowerShell Script" in the task sequence and upload the script. Then deploy the task sequence to the devices.

Hope the above information is helpful to you
