Task Manager has been disabled???????

I would think so. All GP is actually doing is pushing registry settings onto the remote machine so if you can do it in the registry it's a good bet you can do it within group policy - however I've never gone looking for these settings so I can't say for sure. Another way to achieve the same thing might be to have a shutdown script run after closing time that powers all the PCs down. You could sell that to management as an energy saving initiative too and maybe get a staff award or something

In Server 2003 you can't control the power settings. I ran into this as well. I tried using EZ GPO that was put out by the EPA, but it never seemed to work. This was a special ADM that would push registry settings to the clients, but you also have to installed a small program on tall the workstations. This could be pushed to the clients though; so it wasn't that bad.

I heard in Server 2008/Vista you will be able to control the power settings.

If you do have admin rights on the computer, try typing this into the RUN box:

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
