Energy saver/ Managed preferences

Not applicable

Hi

I have an issue where my Laptop users energy saver settings for batter are
set to 2 minutes for computer sleep. I have tried
adding multiple com.apple.PowerManagement.plist files to my managed
preferences but none of them seem to set the battery power.

Does anyone know which one controls this?

Cheers

Joe

Look at the command pmset, set your preferences and do a before and after snapshot with composer it will show you exactly where and what plist are affected

pmset -a displaysleep 15 disksleep 0 sleep 0 womp 1

display sleep = 15 minutes
disk sleep = 0 off 1 on
sleep = 0 disabled numeral is time to sleep
