Power Plan (Scheme) Deployments

The policy settings in the Power Plan Deployments configuration item enables the IT administrator to create
custom power plans and deploy those power plans. The IT administrator needs to configure every policy
in this configuration item. Policy settings in the Power Plan Deployments configuration item cannot be
used to edit existing power plans on client computers. Once a power plan is deployed, the IT administrator
cannot edit the power plan from the server side. To deploy a new power plan, the IT administrator needs to
configure a power plan with a different power plan name.
Note: All policy settings in DC mode do not take effect on desktop computers.
To configure Power Plan (Scheme) Deployments policies, do the following:
• For Windows XP client computers
Under Computer Configuration, click Administrative Templates ➙ Lenovo ThinkVantage
Components ➙ Power Manager ➙ Power Plan (Scheme) Deployments.
• For Windows Vista and Windows 7 client computers
Under Computer Configuration, click Classic Administrative Templates ➙ Administrative Templates
Description
Specifies whether to allow selecting specific power plans
owned by Power Manager on client computers.
If you enable this policy setting, you must input the power
plan name. When a plan name is selected and this name
is not allowed, the current power plan is switched to
another predefined power plan.
Notes:
1. Power Manager searches available power plans in
the following order:
a. Power Manager looks for the Power Source
Optimized power plan.
b. If the first search fails or it is not allowed, Power
Manager looks for the Maximum Energy Saving
power plan.
2. Only power plans visible in Power Manager can be
specified, and Windows default power plans cannot
be specified.
Specifies the name of the power plan owned by Power
Manager to make it active on client computers.
Notes:
1. The specified power plan name should exist on client
computers.
2. If you enable this policy setting, you must input the
power plan name.
Power Manager applies the power plan specified in this
policy during startup. Even when the active power plan
is specified by this policy, the user is able to change
to another power plan and make it active after Power
Manager startup.
