SYMPTOMS

On a Windows 2000-based server with Terminal Services enabled, Advanced Power Management (APM) features (including the Suspend and Hibernate commands) are disabled. The only power management features that are available with Terminal Services enabled are the powering down of hard disks and monitors.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
