I don't know of a way to do it via GPO or through scripting, But i hadn't
really explored that as a possible option. I bet it could be controlled via
a script geared at the registry (which I am sure is where the setting are
stored).

I think at a minimum you might be able to do it via server connecting to
each workstation through computer management. If I have some time, I might
play around with that.

You might consider possing the question to a scripting group. I recommend
microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript and ask about setting users as power
users via script. THere might already be info if you did an advanced group
search of google. I often find the answers there.
