In the first of a two-part series, I wrote about Button, Hard Disk, and Notification settings. This week, I complete my review of Power Management by writing abouten-USCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)http://blogs.technet.com/grouppolicy/archive/2006/09/06/vista-has-the-power-part-two-of-two.aspx#457241Mon, 18 Sep 2006 17:28:56 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:457241EricFirst comment!!!!! &nbsp;First comment on the GPTeam blog!!!!! <br> <br>Ok, now that I have that out of my system......I have a few questions on using the power options. &nbsp;To minimize user impact, I install updates, push out software, run AV scans, etc in the middle of the night. &nbsp;I can use Wake on Lan to turn systems on and perform these tasks to ensure systems are on, but if they are already powered on and in a hibernate/sleep state, will this work? &nbsp;Obviously it is much quicker to bring a system out of hibernate/sleep than it is to power it on and/or log in, but if the administrative tasks won't wake the system up, then I could affect my end users at the start of their day. <br> <br>Has your team done any testing on these type of administrative tasks that normally get performed in the middle of the night to see how the GP Power options function? <br> <br>Thanks <br> <br>Erichttp://blogs.technet.com/grouppolicy/archive/2006/09/06/vista-has-the-power-part-two-of-two.aspx#3078263Thu, 26 Jun 2008 07:42:57 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3078263Little Miss Enviro Geek<p>There is a tonne of information available on Vista power management, from whitepapers to videos to blog</p>
