Power Management GPO?

Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out how to set the power settings of the computers in
my organization. They are almost all Windows XP Pros, a couple Windows 2000
Pro but I'm not going to worry about them right now.

I know that Microsoft set this up so that a standard User does not have
rights to change the power settings and so far I have not been able to find
a way to set them globally.

I have been looking at EZ GPO from Terranovum but it only gets me part way
there. There are a couple settings that it doesn't address. What do you
folks do, how do you handle this... or don't you?

EZ GPO sets the time outs for the User monitor timeout, System standby
timeout and Hibernation timeout, but what about the other settings? Hard
Disk timeout, Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby, When I
press the power button on my computer and Hibernate enable/disable? How can
I go about setting those options?

Oh, this is an active domain network with Windows 2003 Server domain
controllers.

Thanks in advance,
Linn
