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.
