Publisher's description of EZ GPO
ENERGY STAR's EZ GPO tool allows a network administrator to centrally control power management settings using Group Policy Objects (GPOs), saving up to $50 per computer per year in energy costs. EZ GPO can also activate 'system standby', which places the PC box to sleep, uses the existing functionality on Windows 2000 and XP, and does not require special hardware or network processes. It is designed for network administrators who manage Windows client workstations using GPOs under Active Directory. Unfortunately, much of a computer's energy is needlessly expended as the computer sits idle, perhaps while you are in a meeting, on the telephone, or at lunch. Fortunately, we can reduce this waste through the use of EZ GPO, which can turn off your monitor, a computer's most consuming component, during idle time. To easily activate the ENERGY STAR capabilities of your network, run EZ GPO. After several questions, the program will turn on the ENERGY STAR features that works with your monitor.

Version: EZ GPO 1.04
"Fixes a big Issue I have with WinXP"
Pros: With WinXP each user has their own Power settings, so, depending on who last signed on, Many of my network computers would go into standby or even hibernate and thus would not receive MSUpdates or AV Definitions or Scan drives etc. This program allows me to set (and change as laws change) power settings from the Active Directory and/or GPOManager. Easy to install (Install 1 template to your AD and 1 MSI on each computer in your net). It puts a startup in the "all users" startup menu and this comunicates with the GPO to be sure that said user in set right.
AWESOME
Cons: In a bigger company than mine (only 17 workstations) it'd be a small pain to go to each comp and load the MSI. (though I bet some crafty person could use a script or runonce from a shared folder accessable to all users)
