ASDM Product Tour: Screenshots and Workflows

ASDM product tour

See Auto Shutdown Manager in action

Auto Shutdown Manager (ASDM) gives IT teams one place to organise endpoints, apply safe shutdown rules, coordinate wake and maintenance workflows, support remote access and verify the results.

The screenshots use demo or anonymised data. Available panels and details can vary by ASDM version and enabled modules.

Central control

Monitor endpoints and organise policy groups

Start with the operational view: which clients are online, which systems need attention and which policy group controls each endpoint.

Monitor client activity and status

Review endpoint events, connectivity and current state from the central management console instead of checking devices one by one.

Client monitoring brings current activity and connection state into one operational view.

Manage clients through policy groups

Group endpoints by department, location or operational role, then apply the appropriate shutdown, wake and maintenance settings centrally.

Policy groups keep large endpoint estates manageable without forcing one rule onto every device.

Power and maintenance workflows

Shut down safely. Wake reliably.

ASDM combines time rules, activity checks, remote actions and scheduled wake events so maintenance can happen without leaving every PC running.

Configure shutdown rules and office hours

Define when time rules apply, how idle devices should react and which safeguards must be respected before a shutdown starts.

ASDM time-rule settings for scheduled and idle shutdown behaviour
Time rules make shutdown behaviour predictable while preserving the conditions that keep users and workloads safe.

Schedule wake events and remote actions

Wake selected groups before updates, maintenance or the start of the working day, then return them to the correct power state afterwards.

ASDM Wake-on-LAN scheduler with planned wake events and target groups
Scheduled wake events connect endpoint availability with update and maintenance routines.

Coordinate the complete maintenance window

Bring wake, readiness checks, patching, reporting and safe shutdown into one controlled sequence instead of treating power management as a separate afterthought.

A controlled maintenance workflow keeps endpoints available when IT needs them and powered down when the work is complete.

Remote access and portals

Give authorised users a controlled way to wake systems

Browser-based access can expose only the assigned computers and actions needed for remote work, while central policy remains with IT.

WOL Portal: assigned computers and live status

Users see the computers assigned to them, their current status and the permitted wake action without receiving access to the full management console.

The WOL Portal gives users a focused self-service wake experience governed by IT assignments.

Remote Work / Wake-on-Demand request status

Authorised users can submit a wake request through the web-based experience and immediately see whether the target system was found, requested and brought online.

The remote request view helps users confirm that the correct system was requested and whether the wake action has been processed.

Existing IT operations

Fit power and wake control into the tools IT already uses

ASDM complements deployment and management workflows by making endpoints available for the work, then returning them to the required power state.

Coordinate ASDM with SCCM/MCM

The workflow connects deployment plans, ASDM scheduling, network wake paths and endpoint readiness without replacing Microsoft Configuration Manager.

ASDM adds reliable wake and power-state control around the existing deployment workflow.

Review deployment plans inside ASDM

Administrators can see the deployment-related schedule and target context used to wake systems before software distribution starts.

Deployment timing becomes visible in the same operational context as wake scheduling and endpoint groups.

Reporting and technical detail

Verify runtime, savings and endpoint condition

Power management needs evidence. ASDM combines operational reporting with the device-level detail needed to investigate outliers and support decisions.

Review runtime, energy and uptime trends

Use central reports to compare activity patterns, runtime and energy-related outcomes across the selected scope.

ASDM reporting dashboard with runtime, uptime and energy-consumption charts
Operational charts help IT show what changed instead of relying on configured policy alone.

Inspect device-level hardware details

Drill into an endpoint when a report, driver issue or deployment question requires more technical context.

Device-level inventory supports troubleshooting and targeted follow-up from the same management environment.

Wake architecture

See how wake requests reach distributed endpoints

Reliable enterprise Wake-on-LAN depends on more than a single broadcast. ASDM can combine central scheduling, WOL proxies, directed broadcast and remote requests within one managed flow.

Multiple wake sources, routes and endpoint groups

The managed wake path can adapt to network boundaries while keeping target selection and policy centralised.

User notification and controlled interaction

Before shutdown, ASDM can display an administrator-defined message that includes the company name, the warning text and the support contact details relevant for that environment.

Client-side notifications can be customised by IT, including the message, branding and support path shown before the shutdown is enforced.

Product-tour questions

What to know about these screenshots

Are these real Auto Shutdown Manager screens?

Yes. The screenshots and technical visuals come from real ASDM product views or accepted technical pages. Demo or anonymised data may be used.

Can the interface look different in our environment?

Yes. Available panels, labels and data can vary by ASDM version, enabled modules, permissions and the workflow being configured.

Can we inspect the screens at full size?

Yes. Select any real screenshot to open the full-size image in the site viewer.

How can we see a workflow that is not included?

Use the enterprise trial or contact Sales for a walkthrough focused on your deployment, wake, shutdown, remote-work or reporting requirements.

Evaluate with your own endpoints
