This template enables you to create a script that configures power management settings. On Windows XP devices, the script created by this template installs the EZ GPO utility if that utility is not already running. EZ GPO is a free power-saving utility that was developed for the Environmental Protection Agency. The utility overcomes a flaw in Windows XP power settings that makes power settings per-user instead of per-device. For more information on EZ GPO, go to http://www.energystar.gov.
On Windows 7 and Vista devices, power management is configured using the built-in powercfg command. EZ GPO is not required for Windows 7 and Vista devices.
