Environment
Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2 Policies
Situation
When a power policy is applied to a windows PC, ZCM runs
powercfg commands under the system account. ZCM doesnt allow us to change
settings like lid switch functionality or the alarm threshold for low battery.
Resolution
Additional Policy configuration support was added to ZCM 11.2.3
Cause
Lack of Power Policy configuration with earlier versions of ZCM
