ConfigMgr 2007 R3 is all about power

The System Center Team announced the plans to release System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3. One of the focus areas of R3 will be centralized management of power management on Windows Desktops.

Our approach is based on 3 primary areas:

A. Help the organization plan a power strategy by monitoring current power state and consumptions and reporting on machine utilization trends, current power settings and current energy consumption

B. Enable the Administrator to easily create, deploy and enforce specific power settings using the existing ConfigMgr infrastructure
−Ability to set peak and non-peak schedules
−Ability to remediate settings if changed
−Ability to opt out machines from power policy

C. Provide the business meaningful report formats that are relevant to Power Management
