[Net Admin] Tools

[1badger11]

I posted this awhile back, appropriate for this thread:

Not sure if this has been posted before but, I use this tool at many of the sites that I work in, this tool will allow you to launch a program with elevated permissions so that you can keep all of the users as just plain "users" instead of Adminstrators or Power Users. The tool is called CPAU, here is the link.

One more tool that is more in line with this thread:

This is a tool that will allow you to control the power management settings of your client machines using Group Policy, it will also work on workgroup machine using reg entrys. This might be a bit esoteric, but it took me a long time to find something that works reliably. Unfortunately Microsoft did not include any Templates for this, probably because GPO cannot handle binary registry entry's. Here is the link for it,
