Enterprise energy cost reduction without impacting on business.
Computers are one of the fastest growing electrical loads in the business world. Each year, more and more computers are purchased and put to use. But it’s not just the number of computers that is driving energy consumption upward. The way that we use computers also adds to the increasing energy burden.
Research reveals that most personal desktop computers are not being used most of the time that they are running, and many personal computers worldwide are needlessly left running continuously.

Advanced Green IT Power Management for Governments, and Education

Solve the "Patch Night vs. Power Off" Conflict, Permanently.

A grid of computers in a school environment Managing IT within an educational or government institution presents unique challenges. Your budget is tight, your team is lean, and your time is your most valuable asset. You're tasked with keeping thousands of PCs secure and updated across campus, all while meeting the institution's energy-saving and sustainability goals.

This leads to the constant, frustrating conflict: you need machines ON for after-hours maintenance, but you need them OFF to save money and ensure security.

Does This Vicious Cycle Sound Familiar?

You've likely tried everything to solve this problem, wrestling with a patchwork of tools that never quite work together:

  • Group Policies (GPOs) that are inflexible and often fail silently.
  • Custom PowerShell scripts that require constant debugging and maintenance.
  • Intune policies that offer basic sleep settings but lack intelligent shutdown control.
  • Unreliable Wake-on-LAN (WOL) that makes you pray the "magic packet" reaches every machine across every campus network segment.

These approaches consume your time and deliver inconsistent results. It's time for a tool that was purpose-built for the reality of an educational environment.

A Central Solution Designed for Education and Government

Auto Shutdown Manager gives you complete, centralized control over your entire fleet of Windows PCs, servers and laptops from a single dashboard. It's not just another power utility; it's a comprehensive workflow solution that allows you to:

  • Automate with Flexible Schedules: Trigger shutdowns, restarts, or Wake-on-LAN events on recurring schedules that fit your maintenance windows, or execute them on-demand for immediate needs.
  • Perform Intelligent Shutdowns: While a simple forced shutdown is always an option, our intelligent process makes all the difference. Our system checks if a machine is truly idle, warns users, saves open documents, and performs a complete, clean shutdown. It can even power off laptops that users leave in standby.
  • Guarantee Wake-on-LAN: Our technology is engineered to reliably wake machines across different network segments and VLANs. For dynamic environments, its powerful adaptive mode "Auto WOL Proxy Generator" can be enabled to automatically select and configure WOL Proxies. This ensures WOL packets are always delivered even as your network changes, keeping machines ready for SCCM, Intune, or other management tasks.
  • Prove Your Impact: Generate simple, clear reports on energy and cost savings, providing the concrete data you need to show your leadership the tangible results of your IT strategy.

Stop Scripting. Start Managing.

While you could build a similar system yourself, your expertise is better spent on strategic initiatives, not maintaining custom scripts. Auto Shutdown Manager is a stable, supported, off-the-shelf solution that pays for itself almost immediately.

As the IT team at Mesquite ISD in Texas discovered managing their 8,500 PCs, not having a central tool for this is often more expensive than implementing one.
