How can we stop power management from Standby Mode for applications such as Citrix ? What steps do we take to configure ?
Thanks

Hi Eric,
Some applications themselves will not allow the computers to go into standby mode, but it sounds like you want to change the power policy for computers that have a specific application running?
To do something like this, you can add some custom relevance to a power policy and make policy action. For instance, you might make a special power policy called “Citrix” and create a policy action that would run whenever it saw citrix running… You could do this by running the “Power Profile Wizard” and on the Applicability tab, add the relevance to detect Citrix is running… it would probably look like:
AND exists running application “citrix.exe”
And then make the action a policy action…
You could leave it like that, but then the power profile would be forever changed, so you might create another Fixlet that changes the policy back to “Standard” configuration. Use the same procedure above for the “Standard” power policy and add the relevance:
AND NOT exists running application “citrix.exe”
Note that if you do this, all targeted computers would have their power policies directly tied to Citrix application and if users or other actions changed them manually, it would change back.
Alternately we could set up a way to only change to “Standard” power policy the computer was currently using the “Citrix” power profile.
