Before you can use power management in Configuration Manager 2007 R3, you must distribute the hotfix (KB977384) to upgrade client computers in your site hierarchy. You can obtain the hotfix from the Microsoft Support web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=199896). This hotfix must be downloaded before Configuration Manager 2007 R3 installation but client computers in your site are not automatically upgraded. When you install the hotfix on a Configuration Manager 2007 site server, you can configure a Configuration Manager 2007 package and program, which can be used to install the client hotfix on client computers by using Configuration Manager 2007 software distribution. If you do not configure a package and program during installation, you must manually create these before the update can be deployed.

Note
The information in this topic applies only to Configuration Manager 2007 R3.
