A bunch of users PCs have been going to sleep at night, but we want them kept completely on.

Is it possible to push out this rule?
 
Most of these types of settings are done in the bios. There are some registry settings you could try to push out with a GPO.

Not really, besides enabling the type of sleep the PC enters.

The relevant settings in Windows are set on a per-user basis, so it can be a pain to configure domain-wide. I looked into it a while back for a particular client, but never went forward with it.

Basically I came up with 2 options:

1) Using EZ GPO software and using it for the opposite use it was intended for. 😉
2) Creating a startup script using powercfg

That info should get you started, perhaps someone else can expound on the further steps needed to be taken.
 
If these are Vista machine, you can do this with the native GPO settings.

Otherwise, you'll need to use what loup suggested.

ah, that must be one of the tons of new GPOs they've added, very cool...and that goes into my "reasons to suggest Vista upgrade" file. 😉
