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.
