Define a Centrally Administered Power Scheme on Microsoft Windows

You can define a standard power scheme for your organization to ensure that the overall power consumption is minimal. Define different power schemes and assign the schemes to different groups of users or computers.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Jobs, Asset Jobs, right-click Asset Jobs.

   The New Job wizard opens.

2. Select GreenIT Remediation as the job type. Click Next.
3. Enter a name and description for the new job. Click Next.

   Note: You cannot modify the name of a scheme while creating a Green IT Remediation job. The scheme takes the same name as the GreenIT Asset Management job. To modify the scheme name, modify the name of the GreenIT Remediation job.

4. Specify values for the following parameters:

   Monitor Time-out (minutes)

   Specifies the computer idle timeout after which the monitor is powered down.

   Hard Disk Time-out (minutes)

   Specifies the computer idle timeout after which the hard disk is powered down.

   Standby/Sleep Time-out (minutes)

   Specifies the computer idle timeout after which a computer on a standby or sleep mode is powered down.

   Hibernate Time-out (minutes)

   Specifies the computer idle timeout after which a computer on the hibernate mode is powered down.

   Wake Armed

   Specifies whether to enable the wake armed devices that are configured to wake the computer from any sleep state.

   Hibernate

   Specifies the computer idle timeout after which a computer is set to hibernate.

5. Click the Set Scheduling button and specify the required settings to change the current scheduling options.
6. Click Finish.

   The Green IT Remediation job category appears as a subfolder under the Jobs folder. This folder lists all the Green IT Remediation jobs defined in the domain. The Green IT Remediation jobs are displayed with a new icon.

7. Link or drag-and-drop this GreenIT Remediation job to the target computers or computer groups.

The new Green IT Remediation Asset Job distributes a power scheme for Green IT Remediation. The power scheme that is thus distributed to computers is applied to all users registered on the computer using a query group. This distribution standardizes the power settings across the organization and ensures optimal power consumption.
