Create a Power policy - Legacy UI

What is a Power policy?

A Power policy in Datto RMM allows you to control the Power Options in the Windows Control Panel of the devices that are targeted with this policy. This lets you save energy and increases the security of the targeted devices.

A Power policy allows you to specify the following settings:

  • Turn off disk after - Turns off the hard disk after it has been idle for the selected time interval (never - 300 minutes).
  • Turn off display after - Turns off the display after the machine has been idle for the selected time interval (never - 300 minutes).
  • Standby after - Puts the computer into sleep mode after it has been idle for the selected time interval (never - 300 minutes).
  • Schedule- Allows you to either disable the Schedule feature, or set a time to put the computer into Sleep, Hibernate or Shutdown each day.

When a Power policy is applied to a device, Datto RMM adds a power plan that is visible under the Power Options on the local device.

The policy can be applied at account level to target all devices in your account or at site level to target the devices within one particular site only. Refer to Create a policy.
