Hello Kenny, It will be ok via GPO with Vista. But for Now, you will have to: -Install a small Msi to all computers, EZ-GPO.msi -Use the ADM from EZ-GPO Everything is here: http://www.terranovum.com/projects/energystar/index.html You will need to deploy the GPO FIRST, and then deploy the small MSI. If you do not do so, you will have to reboot computers. The MSI install an NT Service that reads the GPO setting on start Cheers, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com Saturday, August 19, 2006, 7:39:08 AM, you wrote: KK> Hello everyone, this is going to sound basic but is there a GPO that KK> would allow me to force power management settings, such as make my KK> clients change their profile's to "Always On" which would disable standy KK> by . ..etc?
