Schedule Standby

Usage and Config

(imported topic written by chuckl91)

Hello,

I’ve just started working with the Power Management feature and I’m trying to find a way to schedule a system to conditionally go into Standby at 9:00pm every night. I only want the workstations to go into Standby if there has been no activity for at least 30 minutes (some employees work late). Is this possible?

Thanks,

Chuck

Hey Chuck,

Yea, you can use the PC Insomnia Fixlets do this:

  • Enable user idle tracking
  • Use the “force into standby” but make it only run between 9pm and 6am.

Thanks Ben. I’ve already got those enabled but I’m not sure I understand exactly how to link the two. Would I create a Force Standby task to run at 9:00pm with a relevance similar to this?

(now - value 
"LastIdleTime" of key 
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BigFix\PowerManagement" of registry as time + (value 
"IdleTimeOut" of key 
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BigFix\PowerManagement" of registry as integer * second)) > (1800*second)
