Gerry, how deploying Power Management with SCCM affects machine with more profiles?
ReplyDeleteTo which profile it will be applied?
SCCM Power Mgmt targets the device, not the user.
ReplyDeleteHello Gerry, In SCCM I have only options:
ReplyDeleteAllow power managament of devices
Allow users to exclude their device from power management
as I can enable other options in SCCM 2012
You can also deploy different power management settings to different collections based on the policy that you require.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually allow users to exclude their devices if I have gone to the trouble of configuring and deploying the policies.
Is there an available report to show what collections have a power management plan published to it?
ReplyDeleteNo, there is no report. However you can see it in the console. Click on device collections to see all your collections in a list. Now right click on the column header to add another - Power Configuration. No you can see which collections have a Power Management policy. You can also order the list using this parameter.
DeleteHi Gerry, if a workstation is in two different device collections each with its own power management settings, which settings are applied on the workstation? Can you set a priority?
ReplyDeleteHave a look here

"If multiple values for power settings are applied to a computer, the least restrictive value is used".
Hi Gerry,
ReplyDeleteIs there any a default power management plan on SCCM clients before I defined a costume one?
Yes. You don't have to define a custom plan at all. The default plan will be applied.
DeleteHi Gerry, What is the best way to have 2 seperate policies for Desktop and Laptop? Cheers
ReplyDeleteYou need to create two collections (one for desktops and one for laptops). You have to create a policy for each one and deploy to the respective collection.
DeleteGerry,
ReplyDeleteI am trying to implement power management and when I update the Customized Non-peak (ConfigMgr) template and then I apply the settings and update the collection, my test machine still shows it is a balanced (ConfigMgr) plan and I am unable to ascertain that it will go into effect when the Non-Peak hours are in play. Is there a way to be able to determine that so I can ensure the policy is correct and be able to show upper management that is when it goes into effect.
Tks Mark
Set up a test collection and configure non-peak hours to be during the day for testing and demo purposes.
