Domain Policy or Script for setting power settings?

[devastator]

basically is there a way to set the default power settings on XP Pro SP2 workstations from a SBS 2003 server? want to turn off all of the power saving features like hibernate / turn of hard disks, monitor and stuff like that without having to logon as each user and set it.
browsing around in the domain policy i don't see an option.

thanks.

The terranovum program is great for overcoming powerschemes, as I was developing something along the same lines, and have spoken to the developer (Thomas Bolioli) a few times. Nice guy, nice product.

Hope this Helps.

yeah thanks seems to be working. one problem though. there is no option for the hard disks going to sleep. default is an hour and i want this off.
anything out there for that? still searching their site to see if there is a separate ez gpo template.

thanks.
