All,

I have a machine that I need to have on at all times (database). I
have changed this setting while logged in as admin, but it changes with
each user profile when they login. I need to make a change so that
when any user logs in, the setting does not change to "turn off hard
disks" or "hibernate" after 30 mins....etc. Is there a machine policy
that would default this for all users? Thanks!
 
In general, any options set in the HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT section of the
Registry will carry forward to any new logons - existing users (with
established profiles) will keep whatever settings they have unless you
delete their profiles and force them to log on as a new user.
