Got the .adm from here

Save this as an .adm. Open up group policy management on your server. Right click edit one of your policies. Under user configuration there is administrative templates. Right click and go add/remove templates. Add the above created .adm if you get an error about CATEGOR you need to add a blank line to the end of the .adm

Now click into control panel, power schemes. THEN OPEN up View, click filtering AND UNCHECK Only show policy settings that can be fully managed.

Now you should see power configuration – user setting. Enable it and then change to your desired scheme.
