Should I Use User Or Computer Settings To Set Power Options In GPO Preferences?

Group policy preferences gives you the option to set power options at the user or computer level. Which should I use? Well, actually you can use either user or computer configuration settings to set power options in group policy preferences, it doesn’t matter which – just whichever suits your needs.

Of course, you must apply user settings to user objects and computer settings to computer objects in AD, unless you have group policy loopback mode enabled.
