The subject says it all really.

Thanks,

There are not Microsoft provided settings to do this, but the US EPA has a
free tool for power management via GPO that might do what you want. See

Thanks for the response Bruce.

It looks like this tool will do what I'm looking for, but since I've only
got around 10 clients to set up, I think I'll pass on using yet another tool.

There's lot's of good tools around for centralising administration, but if
I'm not careful, I can easily end up spending more time setting up loads of
tools than it would take me to set each client up individually.

Thanks again.

Gary

While I appreciate and agree with your concern about "loads of tools", you
might want to give this a good look becuase everything required is done
through Group Policies, once you have the custom ADM loaded into Group
Policy Editor. I used on my very small home domain and it was pretty easy
to get working.
