Apply Group Policy template changes to client systems
Changes to Group Policy Templates do not immediately apply to systems, because they must first be replicated in the domain
controller. Also, client systems can take up to 90 minutes to refresh Group Policy Objects. For detailed information, see the
Determining When Group Policy Changes are Applied article at www.docs.microsoft.com.
Administrators can manually force updates to take effect immediately by doing the following:
1. On the client system, open the command window.
2. Enter the following command.
GPUpdate /force
3. Press Enter.
In Windows Server 2012, administrators can also force client updates from the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). For
detailed information, see the Force a Remote Group Policy Refresh article at www.docs.microsoft.com.
Customize Group Policy settings
This section provides additional information regarding Group Policies and any special notes you must consider as you customize
the settings.
Each policy contains settings and values for options which are honored by the application GUI. If the value for a setting is User
Controlled, then the administrator has given the end-user full access to that setting in the GUI. It has the same effect as
having no policy for that specific setting.
The following group policies are available in Dell Power Manager:
● Battery Information
● Peak Shift
● Advanced Charge
● Battery Extender
● Alerts Management
● Thermal Management
● Product Feedback Link
Battery information Group Policies
● Battery Settings
Battery settings Group Policies
You can customize Battery Settings using this policy group. Select a battery setting, and select any one of the following options
from the drop-down list:
● User Controlled
● Standard
● ExpressCharge
● Adaptive
● Custom
● Primarily AC Use
If the Charge Mode setting is set to Custom, you can set the start or stop values. Values may vary between different systems.
When a specified value is not within the minimum or maximum capabilities, the minimum or maximum value of the client system
is used. When specifying minimum and maximum values, use the following guidelines:
● Minimum start value is 50%.
● Maximum stop value is 95%.
● Start and stop values must differ by more than 5%.
