Here's what I believe is the solution: research the registry value
associated with power management, and put that registry value into a plain
text file called filename.INF, then use the MMC to add the Security
Configuration snapin and import that file into a security database or the
Active Directory Users and Computers snapin [I think] to import those
settings into Group Policy. [never done the second one, but the first one
should definitely work]

You can roll out these settings either by Active Directory group policy as
described above [I think], or by copying the file around and using the
SECEDIT command with the AT command or task scheduler icon to run the
SECEDIT command to apply the security database you created [click Start,
Run, SECEDIT, OK for more info on SECEDIT].

However, because this will only solve the problem with Windows 2000 and XP,
you might consider a different method of delivery if you have other clients,
such as a .REG file and using the REGEDIT /S x:\filename.reg command to
import the settings.

To see the format of group policy templates, edit the files in
windowsroot\security\templates\ with Notepad. Look for the sections
regarding registry values. More information is in google and
microsoft.com/support and microsoft.com/technet Example:
