Hello!
Just wanted to drop a note about some new tools in the C3 Power Management site that we developed to aid an organization in troubleshooting Windows power management issues (computers not going to sleep primarily).
C3 Power Management has been graced with the following two pieces of content:
Invoke - Power Efficiency Probe - Windows on BigFix.Me and on GitHub
This Fixlet runs PowerCFG in order to print an efficiency report and a list of current drivers, processes, and services requesting the device remain awake. This is then read in by the Power Efficiency Analysis.
Power - Efficiency - Windows on BigFix.Me and on GitHub
This Analysis reads in the results from the probe into the following properties.
Power - Wake Requests - Windows
This property lists all the processes currently requesting the computer remain awake.
Results will look like this:
[SERVICE] \Device\HarddiskVolume3\Windows\CCM\SleepAgentService.exe (ConfigMgr Wake-up Proxy), Your machine is currently acting as a network guardian
[DRIVER] High Definition Audio Device (HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0280&SUBSYS_102805A5&REV_1000\4&18c787b9&0&0001), An audio stream is currently in use.
Power - Efficiency Errors - Windows
This will look at the efficiency report and present items listed as errors. Results will look like this:
The computer is not configured to automatically sleep after a period of inactivity.
The hardware in this computer does not support the S3 sleep state.
Sleep requires all device drivers to be compatible with Plug-and-Play and Power Management. If a legacy driver is installed, sleep is automatically disabled.
Power - Efficiency Warnings - Windows
This will look at the efficiency report and present items listed as Warnings. Results will look like this:
The current power policy for 802.11-compatible wireless network adapters is not configured to use low-power modes.
The display is configured to turn off after longer than 10 minutes.
Happy hunting!
