I have my Win7 VM power settings to not sleep or lock the screen etc. I also don't have the "pause windows when no programs are running" checked. However, my Win7 VM is still going to sleep on me, even if I have an application running. For example, I have Microsoft OCS client running in the foreground (for instant messaging etc.) but all of a sudden Win7 decides to sleep, and OCS closes automatically. This makes it tough to use these apps in coherence mode. I checked with our AD team and verify they do have a 15 minute sleep policy, but that my system is in an OU that doesn't get this policy. It is possible something got pushed to me accidentally but I can't locate anything in poledit. Any suggestions? Is this Parallels sleeping my system?
