 Centrally Managing Power Settings on Windows XP/2000 Computers
Where can I find the power management options for Windows XP Professional clients in Group Policy? I've looked all over but can't seem to find them.
by Zubair Alexander  
10/15/2008 -- You can't find them in Windows XP Professional because, unlike Vista, they don't exist. You can configure power management options for Vista under Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System, Power Management.

For XP Professional, you can download EZ GPO, a free tool created by Energy Star, here.

Windows 2000/XP don't have native support for centrally configuring power management settings. This tool fills the gap and allows you to centrally manage power options (monitor power management, system standby and hibernate).

However, this tool doesn't work on Vista computers because the network administrators already have the ability to configure power management settings for it.
