Quick Start

After you subscribe to the new Power Management Fixlet site, you must enable and configure Power Management with some basic configuration steps in the BigFix console.

The Quick Start subnode under Setup and Configuration includes several analyses and Fixlets for setting Wake-on-LAN, Power Consumption, Standby, and Power Tracking parameters in your deployment.

Use the List Panel on the top right of your console to access each analysis and Fixlet. Click the applicable item, and click the link at the bottom of the work panel to deploy the action.
