I solved the problem by making the changes in registry with a VBScript.
Made a .exe of the script that runs automaticly as an Domain User With Admin Rights.
It makes changes in HKU insted of HKCU.- Marked As Answer bytp_tp Friday, September 04, 2009 9:14 PM

- You could use it with a GPO if you run it as a startup script under computer configuration instead of a logon script under user configuration.
Startup scripts run under the local system account which has administrative rights. - If you apply GPO to Mashne policy, then script will runing as SYSTEM account.
or you can usage
Set oShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
test = "runas /user:wcfc\testuser cmd < input.txt"
oshell.Run test, 0
where input.txt - i's file whis password.- i tryd to run it under computer configuration but it din´t work at all.
Is thera a way to give users permission to powercfg.exe with a GPO, can that help? - do i need to have the password in an tex file?

It das't work under computer configuration, It writes to HLCU and must therfore be rur as an logon script.
It wont work to run the script as an local admin because then the chanes will e made in local admins HKCU(profile) and not the logged on users profile.
How can I make this work?- Hi tp_tp,
What operating system are you trying to make this work on?

Im trying to do it on XP klients.
Im trying to modify and create keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg.- Hi tp_tp,
That's what I expected you to say...I don't have a good answer other than to use a power management tool such as EZ_GPO.

i have tryed to use EZ_GPO but it dont work on our klients.
get som error on login.
EZ_GPO is nor an option!- Sorry tp_tp, EZ_GPO is the only (free) way, that I know of, to do power management configuration through a GPO for XP clients (at least with a Server 2003 domain). I don't know what "some error on login" means, but I have found they do read and respond to trouble e-mails.
