ENERGY STAR Power Management for System Center ConfigMgr 2007

As we are headed for more efficient energy usage and trying to save mother earth with more Green IT I would like to post this Desired Configuration Management Pack for Configuration Manager 2007. what it does is that it gives us an assessment if our computers are configured according to the ENERGY STAR defined standards.

Feature Summary
This Configuration Pack uses these ENERGY STAR defined efficiency levels and recommendations as follows:

• Have computers enter system standby or hibernate after 30 to 60 minutes of inactivity.
• Have monitors enter sleep mode after 5 to 20 minutes of inactivity.
• Create a warning notification if screen savers are not disabled. If one is enabled, the wait timeout period should be less than the monitor sleep setting.

This Configuration Pack applies only to desktop and notebook computers that are running Windows XP or Windows Vista operating systems.
