Table 1. General Setting Policy settings Do not allow client to switch power plan Do not allow client to create new power plan Do not allow client to select specific power plan Description Specifies whether to allow switching power plan on client computers. If this policy setting is enabled and users change the power plan, Power Manager will automatically change the current power plan back to the original power plan. Notes: 1. This policy does not inhibit users from modifying the power saving settings in the active power plan. When this policy is enabled, users can move the slider in Basic mode on Windows Vista or Windows 7 operating systems to modify the power saving settings in the active power plan. However, if the original power plan is set to Maximum Performance or Maximum Battery Life, users cannot use the slider to modify the power saving settings in the power plan. 2. If the original power plan is not owned by Power Manager, users can still switch to another power plan. When this policy is enabled, users still can modify the active power plan, or move the slider control in Basic mode. Specifies whether to allow creating a new power plan in Power Manager on client computers. If you enable this policy setting, the New button for creating power plans in Power Manager main user interface is unavailable, though users can create a power plan outside Power Manager. For example, users can create a power plan using Power Option tool in Control Panel. Specifies whether to allow selecting specific power plan owned by Power Manager on client computers. If you enable this policy setting, you must input the power plan name. When a power plan with an invalid name is selected, the current power plan is switched to another predefined power plan. Notes: 1. Power Manager searches for available power plans in the following order: a. Power Manager looks for the Energy Saver power plan, which is called ThinkPad Default or Energy Star on some systems. b. If the above search fails or the power plan is invalid, Power Manager looks for the Power Source Optimized power plan. c. If the above search fails or the power plan is invalid, Power Manager looks for the Maximum Battery Life power plan. Chapter 3. Working with Active Directory and ADM or ADMX files 7
