Dell Power Manager User's Guide

Group Policy template

Administrators can apply the Dell Power Manager settings across multiple systems using the Group Policy feature in Windows Server. For more information about Windows Group Policies, see the Group Policy Overview article at www.docs.microsoft.com.

After you apply a Group Policy Template to a system, end users cannot change the settings that are associated with that template.

To use Group Policy Templates:

1. Install the Group Policy Management Console. See, Installing the Group Policy Management Console.

2. Install the Group Policy Templates. See, Installing the Group Policy Templates.

3. Optionally, customize one or more policies. See, Customizing a Group Policy.

4. Apply policies to specific systems, groups, or users. See Applying a Group Policy.

NOTE: If the administrator restricts all the available settings, the user cannot change any configuration components. However, if the administrator stipulates only some of the settings, the remaining settings are available for the user to configure.
