  • 1.  Power Scheme Tasks

    Posted Nov 20, 2008 10:20 PM
    Hi All

    I was wondering if there is a way to Create custom named Schemes and also to modify Windows Schemes such as Home/Office desk etc.
    If not with this, is there any other Altiris tool that can.
    Cheers

    You cannot create new schemes that I'm aware of, however just about everything else can be done by using the Windows built in tool powercfg.exe.

    There are some good examples of this here:http://www.symantec.com/commun...um/4033/batch-files-ds

    One example is provided here:

    powercfg /change "Home/Office Desk" /monitor-timeout-ac 30
    powercfg /change "Home/Office Desk" /monitor-timeout-dc 5
    powercfg /change "Home/Office Desk" /disk-timeout-ac 0
    powercfg /change "Home/Office Desk" /disk-timeout-dc 30
    powercfg /change "Home/Office Desk" /standby-timeout-ac 0
    powercfg /change "Home/Office Desk" /standby-timeout-dc 25
    powercfg /hibernate on
    powercfg /change "Home/Office Desk" /hibernate-timeout-ac 0
    powercfg /change "Home/Office Desk" /hibernate-timeout-dc 0
    powercfg /change "Home/Office Desk" /processor-throttle-ac none
    powercfg /change "Home/Office Desk" /processor-throttle-dc adaptive

    Be aware, as the DS article mentions that the changes usually are made for the the logged in user. I've had better luck using this in the build process as documented in the comments here: http://www.symantec.com/commun...uild-those-base-images
