The Power Management Wizard

The Power Management Wizard allows you to create a patch to manage power settings for workstations within a network. Using this simplified power policy creation method, you can manage the enforcement of environmentally friendly policies in distributed environments.

Using the Power Management Wizard allows you to create a patch to manage power settings. To deploy packages containing power management policies to applicable endpoints you use the Deployment Wizard within the Ivanti Endpoint Security.

For more information about deployments, refer to Creating an Endpoint Deployment or Creating a Group Deployment in the Endpoint Security: Patch and Remediation Help.

A package containing a power management policy can have its behavior changed by selecting behavior options. For instance, you may want to completely uninstall a power management policy from an endpoint. The options are found in the Package Deployment Behavior Options page within the Deployment Wizard.

Important: To completely remove a power management policy on an endpoint, you would choose uninstall the package and debug mode behavior options before deploying the package to all applicable endpoints. For additional information on changing deployment behavior options, refer to Selecting Deployment Behavior Options in the Endpoint Security: Patch and Remediation Help.
