#30751 - 2002-10-16 02:31 PM Power configuration in win2k
Jamel Jamel Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-10-16 Posts: 8 Loc: Norway	We want to distribute our own standard Power scheme to all our win2k clients. To do this, I created a new scheme X with the desired parameters for Turn off monitor and Turn off hard disks and saved the registry subkey [HCKU\Control Panel\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies\X]to a REG file. I activated a kix script that runs REGEDIT /S to update the clients. As a result, the new power scheme is entered to the registry, but the parameters for Turn off monitor and Turn off hard disks are set to Never. The same happens when I run the REG-file separately. Any suggestions ? Thanks, Jamel

Also, do you actually activate the new power scheme. It is not enough to just import the scheme, you will also need to set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\CurrentPowerPolicy to the correct power policy number. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Jamel Jamel Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-10-16 Posts: 8 Loc: Norway	Yes, I do activate the new power scheme. I don't think there is a problem with the registry importy or the kix script ! Try this: - Create a new power scheme. - Select Turn off monitor and Turn off hardisk values and make a note of them. - Save [HCKU\Control Panel\PowerCfg] to a REG file. - Start Power Options Properties and delete the power scheme you just created. - Run the REG file. - Start Power Options and notice that the values off Turn off monitor and Turn off hardisk are wrong Thanks All

Jamel Jamel Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-10-16 Posts: 8 Loc: Norway	Yes, the new power scheme is set to current ! I came to the conclusion that the power scheme settings for turn off monitor and hard disks are not stored in the binary value "Policies" in [HCKU\Control Panel\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies\X]as I thought. My conclusion is based on the fact that removing "Policies" value from the registry does not affect what I see in the settings for my power scheme in the Power Options Properties. Any body knows where these values are stored ? Thanks Jamel

Make a registry snapshot beofre and after adjusting the power settings and then compare those. E.g. use 'Advanced Registry Tracer' for this or any other similar utility. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
