i Mark,
I have reviewed and amended our shutdown policy at BRO, please see that going forward all teaching, student PCs, and student laptops will automatically turn off at 9pm.
9pm is the trust standard so I've stuck to that in this case as it allows for any necessary updates etc to be applied outside of school time before the PC is shut down by group policy.
This change will apply when all affected devices have been restarted a few times.
In the coming half term, we'll make sure to do a sweep of BRO to restart all devices to ensure this policy update is pulled and working correctly.
I hope this puts the energy concerns you have to rest and helps you better gauge the power usage of the devices on site.
Any further issues or concerns please do let me know.
Thanks,
Kyle
