>I have a user on a Windows 2000 machine logging into a w2k domain. When the user goes into control panel, power options, and tries to set his "turn off monitor" setting, he gets the message "power policy manager unable to set active policy" If I signon as an admin, I can set the power options, but of course, when the user signs on it reverts back to his setting. I added the user to the admin group in the domain, but I still cant set the power options. Im not a Windows 2000 expert - any of you gurus have any suggestions ? Thank you
