From a cmd prompt run powercfg.exe /C "Name" This creates a new power scheme with the current power settings. 2. Type powercfg.exe /L to list the available schemes. You should see the scheme you just created 3. powercfg.exe /E "Name" This will export the power scheme you created to the root of c: named scheme.pow From a login script copy down the new scheme.pow file to %WinSysDir% then run powercfg.exe /I SCHEME.POW (this will import the new scheme)then powercfg.exe /S SCHEME.POW (this will set the new scheme as the active power scheme) Phil Schoeff Fairview Information Services 323 Stinson Blvd N Minneapolis, MN 55413 (612)672-7164 pschoef1@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Darren Mar-Elia Sent: Monday, February 12, 2007 9:00 AM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: Power management setting Omar- Outside of the 3rd party products, there is this free utility that has been around for a while: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=power_mgt.pr_pm_ez_gpo Darren -----Original Message----- From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Omar Droubi Sent: Monday, February 12, 2007 6:41 AM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Power management setting Hey does anyone know how to control power management settings from a GPO?
