Parkland Power Management Settings (Windows OS)

This document describes the power management settings configured for the Windows operating system on classroom, lab, conference room, and office computers.

Intune is a cloud based tool provided by Microsoft that is used for managing software installation, updates, and settings for Windows computers in the PC domain at Parkland College.

Campus Technologies staff have configured Windows power management settings for various classifications of computers owned by Parkland College. These settings were previously provided by Microsoft Enterprise Configuration Manager (MECM), but they are now provided by Intune.

Some settings below are controlled by Campus Technologies, and others are not configured and may be changed by the user.

The System Unattended Sleep Timeout specifies the period of inactivity before Windows transitions back to sleep, after a computer is awakened, when a user is not present. For example, when a wake timer wakes up a computer to perform maintenance, the computer will remain awake for the specified period of time after the maintenance tasks have completed.
