Power Status

User State > Power Status

  • Similar information is provided by Reports > User State.

The Power Status page displays the conformance of machines to the the power policy selected using the Conformance drop-down list. Machine counts are based on the machine ID/group ID filter and whether or not the User State client is installed on a machine.

Five gauges display the number of conforming, non-conforming, and non-supporting machines:

  • Turn off Monitor - Machines matching the selected power policy monitor settings.
  • Turn off Hard Disk - Machines matching the selected power policy hard drive settings.
  • System Standby - Machines matching the selected power policy system standby settings.
  • System Hibernate - Machines matching the selected power policy system hibernate settings.
  • Power Conformance - This fifth top gauge represents a rollup of the four subordinate gauges. This is the total number of machines that conform to all four power settings.

These gauges are updated when:

  • The User State client is installed on a machine using Install/Remove. You can compare the power settings of machines at the time of the install to any of the power policies already defined to determine which machines do not conform to the selected power policy.
  • A power policy is applied to a machine.
  • The latest audit is performed on a machine, typically on a daily basis.

Assigned Power Policy

Select the Assigned Power Policy item from the Conformance drop-down list to determine which machines that conform/do not conform/do not support their assigned power policy. This can help you determine which machines are non-conforming, regardless of the power policy applied to the machine.

<N> machines do not conform <power setting>

Click the link beneath any of the five gauges to see a list of non-conforming machine IDs.

<N> machines unassigned or unmonitored

Click the link beneath this top gauge to see a list of unassigned or unmonitored machine IDs.

<N> machines do not support <power setting>

Click the link beneath any of the four lower gauges to see a list of machine IDs that do not support this specialized power setting.

Note: Certain machines may not support one or more power policy settings. Typical examples include virtual machines and terminal servers. Power policies settings, if applied to these machines, are skipped.
