R3 Power Management enforcement
Is there anyway to enforce the power plans? I'm currently doing some testing and it appears the settings can be changed by a user and only reverts back to the power plan when it switches from peak to non-peak and vice versa. I was hoping it
would apply it once an hour or at every policy evaluation.

I believe it will reapply during evaluation of policy but you cannot enforce it so that they cannot change it.Brandon Linton |http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/brandonlinton/default.aspx | MCTS - SCCM, MDT, AD

"If we look at the Windows 7 client we see that the power policy that is in place indeed is coming from SCCM – and the user has the ability to change the plan settings. It’s a futile effort though as with every 24 hours (not every policy
cycle) we will just set power settings back to what we have configured for the collection."
I interpret this as all settings are reverted back to the SCCM defined power settings that are distributed, every 24 hours. But I can honestly say that I have not seen this refresh time anywhere else. Anyone who can confirm this 24 hour cycle?Regards Per Eriksson
