As Ive said, we are beginning to investigate Powerman
which is similar to PC Power Down
|
|
However, it has the advantage that it plugs-in to
Active Directory
|
|
Overview
|
|
-Client server based application
|
|
-Power management through Group Policy add in
|
|
-IIS based web application
|
|
-Activity based reports and management
|
|
Pros
|
|
-Does activity based power management
|
|
-Excellent reporting structure
|
|
-Easy installation
and configuration
|
|
-Group policy based management
|
|
Cons
|
|
-24 hour lead time for new computers to show up
|
|
-Seems to have more features than PC Power down
|
|
But, if all we
want is to enforce computers to shutdown, then maybe PC Power Down is more
suitable
