Run SCCM Task Sequence with a High Performance Power Plan

 This article will demonstrate how to run SCCM task sequence with a high performance power plan, which increases the task sequence’s overall speed and improves OSD duration.

Starting in Configuration Manager version 1910, a new feature was introduced which allowed the admins to run SCCM task sequence with a high performance power plan. Enabling the high performance power plan for a task sequence improves the overall speed and reduces the time to apply an Operating System Image by 20-40%.

If you have issues with task sequences running slow or OSD taking more time to complete, I recommend running the task sequences in high performance power plan mode and check the performance.

In the latest versions of Configuration Manager, the Run as high performance power plan is now on by default for new task sequences. If it’s not turned on, you can enable the option under the task sequence properties.

What is High Performance Power Plan for Task Sequence?

A high performance power plan when enabled for a task sequence configures the Windows to use its built-in high-performance power plan, which delivers maximum performance at the expense of higher power consumption. To improve the overall speed of the task sequence, you must run it with the high-performance power plan.

In most cases, when the task sequence starts, it records the currently enabled power plan. The active power plan is then changed to the Windows default High Performance plan. This process is repeated if the task sequence restarts the computer. It resets the power plan to the stored value at the end of the task sequence. This feature is available in both Windows and Windows PE, but it has no effect on virtual machines.

If the task sequence starts in Windows PE, the task sequence doesn’t record the currently enabled power plan for later reuse.

An OS deployment task sequence that re-images the computer (wipe and load) doesn’t preserve the power plan setting of the old OS. At the end of the task sequence, it restores the default Balanced power plan.

Starting with Configuration Manager 2010, devices with modern standby can use the high performance power plan. When you utilize this task sequence option, a temporary power plan comparable to the High Performance default is created. When plugged in, this power plan resets the timeout values for standby, monitor, disc, and hibernate to 0. These settings keep these devices from sleeping during an OS deployment job sequence. When the job sequence is finished, the power plan reverts to its original state and the temporary plan is deleted.

Run SCCM Task Sequence with a High Performance Power Plan

If you want to run SCCM Task Sequence with a High Performance Power Plan, there are two scenarios that you need to consider. If the task sequence is already present, how do you enable the high performance power plan and if it’s a new task sequence, how do you enable the option. Let’s look at both the examples.

1. Enable Run as High Performance Power Plan for existing Task Sequence

For existing task sequences, you can enable the Run as high performance power plan using following steps:

Launch the Configuration Manager console.

Go to Software Library > Operating Systems and select Task Sequence node.

Select the task sequence to configure, and then in the ribbon select Properties.

Switch to More Options tab and enable the option Run as High performance power plan.

2. Turn on High Performance Power Plan for new Task Sequence

If you are creating a new task sequence for operating system deployment, you can enable the Task Sequence high performance power plan with following steps:

In the Configuration Manager console, go to the Software Library workspace. Expand Operating Systems, and select the Task Sequences node. Right-click Task Sequence and from the options, select Create Task Sequence.
