According to this website from Sony, depending on which version you have you make need to install an older driver and then use an updater to complete the process.

But this is for Vista 64-bit so im not entirely sure it will work on Server.
The Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service must be started in order for your camera device to work properly.
1. Open up command prompt, type in
sc config stisvc start= auto
sc start stisvcExtract the zip file and import the registry settings of my power options (which works) to yours.
Restart the PC to apply changes. Report back. We are running out of options lol…
Download Yahoo Messenger and create an account if you already don’t have a yahoo account.

I’m sorry about the 3rd one. I have been in the process of trying to migrate a motherboard with a Celeron D (not dual core lol) to a new bigger case and swapping it out for a P4 w/HT it was given to me but i think the board is bad…dang! I’ll post it in an attachment because my FTP server will probably go up and down as I am working on this.
Try that, if it doesn’t work report back.
Also, in c:windowssystem32
do you see these files? I have a laptop with Server 2008 R2 standard and all of these files exists.
powercfg.exe
powercfg.cpl
powercpl.dll
powerprof.dllI’m sorry about the 3rd one.

Open up commmand prompt and type in the following:
powercfg -restoredefaultschemes
2. If the above doesn’t work, try updating your 9300M to the latest version. Go to nvidia’s website and update it to the latest driver.
Let me know if the above work or not. Also, when you installed 2K8R2 was power options ever working to begin with? I do a lot of freelance computer repair work and I cannot stress enough how important documentation is. You don’t nessecarily have to write everything down yourself. Copy and paste the documentation you found online into a word/notepad and save it! It’s certainly helped me to broaden your knowledge of computers as a whole.

According to your system model you have a 2743A19 which is an SL400 series laptop. I didn’t see any problems with your display driver. I have an NVidia 9400 GT( close to what you got) and we got the same driver version. I typed in “power management for lenovo” and i stumbled upon a driver for your laptop. It’s called a “power management driver” it might have something to do with your mobo being able to detect certain power settings because after all it is the motherboard which is responsible for turning the hardware components on/off. Makes sense. Give it a try. Install the driver and tell me if it works.
There were a ton of group policies to browse, but as far I can see the only group policies that apply to Power Options can be found at Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Power Management. But the only thing you can do is pretty much the same thing through the GUI (turn stuff on/off, change minutes, etc). Nothing different.
The fact that you are accessing group policy tells me that you are a member of administrators group. It’s pretty self explanatory. Administrators can change power options. Standard users cannot. If you are a member of the administrators group then we can rule out access control.
This leaves us with two possible problems I can forsee:
1) A corrupted user profile
2) Outdated/incompatible display driver
Solutions:
First try the simplest solution. Go into user accounts, and create a temporary administrator account for example “tempadmin” and give that user administrative rights.
Or just type in these lines in command prompt:
net user tempadmin /add
net user tempadmin temp
net localgroup administrators tempadmin /addThis will create the following:
Username: tempadmin
Password: tempLog in with newly created account and go to power options.
This option should fix the issue if the problem was related to a corrupted user profile. If not your display driver might be giving you a problem.
I would need to gather some information about your system so I could properly assess what resource is the culprit. With that being said, please do the following:
1. Click on start and choose Run…
2. Type in “msinfo32” without quotes and hit enter.
3. At top select, Edit > Select All
4. Click File > Save…
5. Save the file as indreksettings.nfoSave the file to some location that is easy to access to “Documents” or something. After doing these tasks above, upload the NFO file to the forum here.
You can enable the WLAN service by installing the “Wireless LAN” feature available in Server Manager.
Optional: In the start search box type in “command prompt”. Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
Type in the following:
servermanagercmd -install wireless-networking
Or you could save yourself $100 and buy a decent MP4 player and ditch the overpriced Apple.
I think I’ll invest my $100 I just saved and use it to make a phone call to Dan Aykroyd.
Who ya gonna call…
BOT BUSTERS!

By standby I believe you mean put your computer to sleep. Simple.
Click on Start.
In the empty search box type in “Power Options”
Open up the program.Click the “Change when the computer sleeps” option.
Put the computer to sleep: 10 minutes
Turn off the display: 10 minutesAfter 10 minutes of inactivity (no mouse movement, etc) your tower will go to sleep as well as your monitor.
You can also enable hibernation on your server as well and set a timeout for this process to begin as well.
Click on Start.
Type in cmd.exe
Open up Command PromptType in the following command:
powercfg -h on
powercfg -x -hibernate-timeout-ac 60The computer will enter hibernation mode after 60 minutes of inactivity.
You can disable this by typing “powercfg -h off” if you do not want this feature any longer.

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Logon > Hide entry points for Fast User Switching
Purpose: When set to enabled, disables the switch user button functionality.
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Ctrl+Alt+Delete Options > *
Purpose: When set to enabled these policies disable the change password, task manager, logoff button, and lock computer button functionality. Enabling “remove task manager” will also render the taskmgr.exe process disabled as well, not just the button.
User Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > Shutdown: Allow system to be shut down without having to log on
Purpose: When set to disable disables the shutdown button functionality in logon UI (CTRL+ALT+DELETE, task bar, etc)
I just renamed utilman.exe to utilman.bak to disable the “Ease of Access” button on the Logon UI.
As far as the ease of access and shutdown options buttons they still remain on the screen but their functionality is disabled.
