Well sort of. The school is looking for a solution were by pc's are turned off
auto everyday @ 7pm. We also want the ability to send the monitor into power
save mode.
This tool looks great, but it seems it will only solve the latter problem, I am
still stuck with finding a solution that actually shuts down the pc at a
certain time. I know this is possible with a script, but that means constantly
updating the list of computers when ever a new one is joined onto the domain
Thanks
Patrick

I believe your problems can be solved with the "Terra Novum EZ GPO Tool" for
setting standby timeouts for computer and monitor etc for WinXP machines (Vista
already supports this AFAIK).
Check http://www.terranovum.com/projects/energystar/ez_gpo.html. It's free.
I've run this for well over a year, probably two, and it works fine. An
ADM-template is included IIRC, and the software itself comes as a msi-package
to
deploy ever AD with a GPO.
More info on http://www.terranovum.com/projects/energystar/index.html.
Are you on a green-spree at work? ;-)
