Is there any way to allow users to change the power
options without granting them admin rights?
Or is there a way to change the power options under the
admin account and have it applied to all users?
 
Ironically enough, "Power Users" can change the power settings ... Users do
not need to be Local Admins to change this ...

Power settings are on a per-user basis, not per PC, so there's no way to
change them for everyone ...

I've wrestled with this bear for some time to no avail ...

Hope this helps ...

You could launch the power-applet via a script with admin-profile. Use
runas (windows helpfile for more info) and
http://www.jsiinc.com/subf/tip2600/rh2667.htm has info on how to launch
control-panel applets from scripts. If you do a plain batch-file however
any user that can execute the script can also read it.

You can either use scheduled tasks to do this (no need for runas then)
or you can encapsulate the command in a program of your own.
