The power management feature in Configuration Manager 2007 R3 includes several reports to help you analyze power consumption and computer power settings in your organization. The reports can also be used to help you troubleshoot problems when using the feature.

These reports require Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services. SQL Reporting Services integration with Configuration Manager 2007 was introduced in Configuration Manager 2007 R2. For information about how to configure SQL Reporting Services for Configuration Manager, see SQL Reporting Services in Configuration Manager 2007 R2 and Later. Before you can use the power management reports, you must copy them to your reporting services point. For more information, see How to Configure Reports for Power Management.

Note
  • Power management information used by daily reports is retained in the Configuration Manager 2007 site database for 31 days.

  • Power management information used by monthly reports is retained in the Configuration Manager 2007 site database for 13 months.

When you run reports during the monitoring and planning and compliance phases of power management, you should save or export the results from any reports for which you want to retain the data for later comparison in case they are later removed by Configuration Manager.
