Group policy question

Our DC's are W2k3 R2, and we are mostly XP clients.

What I would like is to do is create/edit a policy to set the power options for system standby/hibernate to never.

GPMC in xp/2k3 doesnt have any power management options relating to this, and all of the google solutions i can find on technet relate to Server 2k8.

Is there an add-in or anything out there, even for the local gpmc? I would be willing to do this on each machine if i had to if it is a computer setting. I have about 70 machines where the users play musical chairs, so the logins dont stay consistant.

Thx

You can also use a tool EZ GPO (EZ GPO : ENERGY STAR) released by Energy Star.
