I have recently setup 125 Dell GX280 running XP w/SP2
which came pre-installed by Dell, the problem that I am having is all the systems go in standby after 10 mins, I have gone in under local Admin & Domain Admin and disabled it under power but it only makes changes on those accounts. Is there a way to disable it so that affect every user? I don't want to have to go to each machine and do this...a regedit maybe?

if this is a domain, create a GPO with the power options you want. All the computers need to be in an OU container. Apply the GPO to computer configuration in the GP MMC. That way the settings are for each computer regardless of user.

What is the name of the policy...I don't see anything that refers to power or standby...Maybe I'm missing it

we were going to give you the same program that P.J. gave you. You create a GPO however your create it. AD doesn't have a specific GPO that limits power options standby/hybernation and what that does.

We use the same program P.J mentioned and it does it's job. thats about all

I have tried out EZ_GPO in a test lab and it does work as its supposed to do. Ideally PCs should be fully ACPI compatible for it to work properly, older machines may or may not work.
