A Collection can be configured for power settings such as how long the computer must be inactive before the display is turned off.   

Some things to remember about Power plans.  

  • You can only apply Configuration Manager Power Plans to Device Collections.  
  • If a computer is a member of multiple power plans, the least restrictive value is used.  
  • According to Microsoft, Configuration Manager power management is not supported on virtual machines. You cannot apply power plans to virtual machines, nor can you report power data from them.

I will supply a procedure for configuring Power Management, but unfortunately, we cannot test this in our Lab environment.  

  • First, we will create a device collection  • Then we will create a Custom Client Setting  
  • Then deploy those settings to a collection.  
  • From the Work-Space, click Assets and Compliance. From the Navigation Pane, click Device Collections.  
  • Notice that under Device Collections, I have created three folders. One for desktops, laptops, and servers. These folders help keep my device collections organized.   
  • If you want to create folders, right-click on Device Collections select folder, then Create folder.  I would recommend that you do the same for your organization.

  • From the Create Device Collection Wizard, Name type Power Management Laptops, from Limiting Collection, click Browse, click ALL Systems, click ok, then click next.

  • From Resource Class, select System Resources, from Attribute Name, select Name. From value, type the % sign, click next. 
  • From Select Resources, click SAWS01-NEW, click next, click next again, then click close 
  • Click next 2x, then click close

Here you can select Peak hours start and end, and the duration.  

For Peak plan and Non-peak plan, you have several choices that you can explore. You can also configure a Customized Peak or Non-Peak plan with settings that should work based upon your organization’s needs.  

  • From the Peak plan, select Customized Peak, then click Edit. You can turn on or off any of these settings and configure the settings of your choice.  
  • For this lecture, we choose the Balanced setting for both and click ok.
