The following is an instruction on how to have some semblance of a Power Management group policy in an environment operating under Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Unfortunately, the Power Management options in XP, as opposed to Vista, are stored in binary files, thereby making it difficult...
active directory
batch script
command line
configuration
custompowersettings
electricity costs
energy efficiency
group policy
hibernation
legacy devices
power management
power options
powercfg
scheduled task
software management
standby mode
system administration
user permissions
windows server
windows xp
