Power Settings via GPO?

[Orbital]

Hi People,

Can anyone advise if it's possible to amend workstation power settings via
GPO? I've pushed out reg settings via GPO but these do not take on my
workstations. I know there are plug ins you can buy, and Vista will have
such settings, but is there anything I can do for free, now?

Many Thanks in advance,
Orb.

There are some ;)

Use your own adm template (if you can read German, than you can translate
this http://www.gruppenrichtlinien.de/adm/powerscheme.txt )
Or you can use EZ GPO software

or you can use software like Desktopstandard's Policymaker
