How to prevent the lab pcs from shutting off after about 2 hours?

Hello,

I got permission to run my code overnight and on the weekends on the 60 XP
machines in the lab. It looks like the machines shut off after about 2 hours
of inactivity. The problem is that the machines that are busy running my
code are shutting off, just like the machines that are really idle.

Is there a setting that would allow the idle machines to shut off, while not
shutting off the machines with a CPU that is using 100% of the cycles? What
would you suggest I tell our systems administrator?

Thank you!
 
Control Panel > Power Options > Power Schemes and see what the computers are
set to do.
 
Thank you for your reply.

I see that they are set to Never shut off. Can the administrator of the lab
do anything else to force the pcs to shut off?
