Power and Hybernation not wanted.

Hello

I need to prevent all computers on the network from using any power save options. By default they are all on and I need the system to stay running and never hybernate. When a new user logs on to a worksation the first time the system will go in to hybernation after the have logged off if another user does not logon in the mean time.
Active directory on win 2003 domain and XP Pro workstations
Is there a way to set this either in group policy or in the registry?

LEH - Longhorn?
Are you asking what Longhorn is?  It's the codename for the new version of Windows which is currently in beta.
Figured that's what you somehow meant.  It hasn't been called Longhorn for a long time.  Try Windows Vista, which was released 1/30/07.
Windows Vista is the client operating system.  Longhorn is still the codename for the new release of the server operating system, which is still in beta until at least Q3 of this year or later.

When I mentioned Group Policy management capabilities for Vista clients, I was, for obvious reasons, referring to management capabilities in the upcoming server OS.
OK, I stand corrected.  You were thinking server, I was thinking desktop.  NP, just wanted to clarify.
