Hello all..
I want to save my power plan and embed it into an ISO image using ntLite. How can I do that?
 
From the Registry screen, there's a Toolbar option for importing one of the host's current power plans into the image.

This is a licensed feature, if you're using free NTLite then you can run a powercfg command from Post-Setup to load a custom .pow file. You can use the forum search to find many examples of it explained.
 
I'm using a paid version of ntLite. I tried the method shown in the image, but the power plan I customized didn't load after installation. I tried it on a virtual machine; could the problem be with the virtual machine?

Hyper-V or other VM? Some of the advanced plan settings can involve CPU cores or HW sleep modes.
 
Power plans are only going to work as far as what's emulated. It's like RAID driver support, you can only confirm it works by installing on a physical PC.

Maybe you can set up a dual boot for testing purposes. All Windows needs is 54 GB of disk space for installation.
 
I noticed that my custom power option has been added to the power options, but it's not the default.

I guess NTLite doesn't have a built-in feature to select the default plan.

Check if the imported plan has the same GUID as the original host. If the two GUID's are identical, then you can run a "powercfg /setactive {GUID}" command from Post-Setup (Before logon).
 
powercfg will accept "/setactive" or "-setactive".

GUID 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e is the Balanced power plan (or your edit of it).
 
If you want to import a Power plan into the image from the host, you can use this option on the Registry page.
Example for the "normal" plan.

Host (read-only) => Import -> Image, then leave the "Activate" box checked.
This will activate the Power Plan and overwrite the existing one if it's the same.

From what I remember, it also works on a VM, but I'm not sure.
