It appears they have a free utility for Power Management via GPO�s.

By default I don�t believe so.  There are some published ways to control power on PC�s using a GPO, You will have to search for them; I would check out the EPA�s website.  Also some of the third-party GPO companies have solutions.  I know for a fact Desktop Standard has one.  You might also check out Quest�s and Full-Armor / NetIQ�s offerings.  What you are looking for is a client side extension that allows you to manage these settings.

We have a lot of computers that have (apparently) had the power options set to turn the computers to "standby" mode after a few hours.  This is problematic for off-hours processes.  All these machines run WinXP Pro SP2.  Is there a setting in a GPO that can change this to turn off standy/hibernate modes?  If not, any other options?
