Well, i forgot to metion i use Steady State to "freeze" the machines....so
sometimes they take a little while to boot up...i like to have them ready in
a sleep state, so the student just has to wiggle the mouse and have it wake
up, get files and head to class, versus powering on the system and waiting
for the boot process. I realized that it drops the temperature approx 12
degrees inthe room by having them sleep versus having them all on. Thanks.

by "sleep".
but i would think that "powering
down" the machines would be
better than standby or hibernation
modes in a public arena like
classrooms.
what i would do is to log in as
administrator and use the power
options in control panel.
then with a tweakui from
microsoft, remove the
power control icon from
the control panel to keep
idling hands from tampering
the power configuration.

however, some things that
interfere with power management
via the bios are things like
wake on lan and wake on ring.
similarly, things that interfere
with power management
via windows desktop are
scheduled tasks to run
programs or check for updates
on line.

incidentally, i recall that on
microsoft.com there is a
site dedicated to pc's and
energy conservation.

I have a computer lab with 60 PCS, and i have the bios set to turn them on at
6:00 am daily. I would like to have the monitors shut off after 15 minutes
of inactivity, and the PC go to sleep after 1 hour. (Yeah, we're a EPA
Partner and this is our colleges way of going 'green')
I have having difficulty finding the power profile that applies to the PC
when it boots up. If I log in to the PC, and log out, the settings work find
that I stash in the DefaultUser power config, however, these PCs dont get
logged in immediately.
I was able to accompish this task somehow on a Dell SX280, and when I try
identical measures on a Dell 755SFF, I cant duplicate the results.
Anyone have any suggestions?
