Manage: Workstations – Powerman
•As I’ve 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
