Is it possble to disable standby mode remotely?

I have 400 computers under my command and all of them have standby mode enabled.  Standby mode is like the plague because it can be set by the system and by the user.  You disable standby mode for the system and it is still set for the user.  An option is to remove all user settings and reconfigure them all, but that is moronic!  (yes corporate did suggest doing that option.  I have some users that use one computer for 20 people.  I am NOT reconfiguring 20 user settings….this is not an option people!)

Then what is a guy to do?  My thoughts is to send out a rouge request to disable system standby remotely.  Why would this be a rouge request?  Because corporate does not support it!  They don’t feel that my 400 computers needs a policy control on system standby.  They feel that I should walk to every one of them, disable system standby for the system.  Then I should delete all user profiles and start from scratch… FUCK THAT!

My solution?  See below.

• Find a script that will turn off system standby.  – DONE
• Either push said script out via GPO or User profile – Scratched…too traceable.
• Create a worm to insert script into all startup menus and thus script is run when user boots up – Detected by macafee

Unless I can think of a way to push this out without Corporate to find out, I may just go to every computer and run the script.  I have tested the script on a few computers, and they have not activated sleep mode yet so hopefully it works.  If so, sleep mode will be a thing of the past!
