Deploying Power Management on a Server for its Clients

Batch Script

Here is the small batch script:

Powercfg.exe /CREATE "myPowerScheme"
Powercfg.exe /CHANGE "myPowerScheme" /monitor-timeout-dc 20
Powercfg.exe /CHANGE "myPowerScheme" /monitor-timeout-ac 20
Powercfg.exe /CHANGE "myPowerScheme" /disk-timeout-dc 0
Powercfg.exe /CHANGE "myPowerScheme" /disk-timeout-ac 0
Powercfg.exe /CHANGE "myPowerScheme" /standby-timeout-dc 0
Powercfg.exe /CHANGE "myPowerScheme" /standby-timeout-ac 0
Powercfg.exe /CHANGE "myPowerScheme" /hibernate-timeout-dc 0
Powercfg.exe /CHANGE "myPowerScheme" /hibernate-timeout-ac 0
Powercfg.exe /SETACTIVE "myPowerScheme"

Here I just want the monitor to turn off automatically after 20 minutes.
