Changing Power Options with Powershell
0
I am a newbie when it comes to scripting. I am running the script above. I believe I have to take and change this line of code:
{param ($Plan = $(throw ‘Set-PowerPlan Ultimate Performance’ ))}
but I am not sure since I am getting the following error when I run the script in PS:
At C:tempSet-PowerPlan.ps1:35 char:67
+ ... RegEx = “(?<planguid>[A-Fa-f0-9]{8}-(?:[A-Fa-f0-9]{4}-){3}[A-Fa-f0- ...
+ ~
Array index expression is missing or not valid.
At C:tempSet-PowerPlan.ps1:41 char:36
+ $result = powercfg -s $matches[“PlanGUIDâ€] 2>&1
+ ~
Array index expression is missing or not valid.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) , ParseException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MissingArrayIndexExpression
The only line of code I changed was the one above.
Yes "Ultimate Performance" power scheme is installed.
Do I need to do anything else?
I am trying to change the Power Options to "Ultimate Performance" this option is already install by a previous command.
Script I was running:
param ($Plan = $(throw ‘Set-PowerPlan Ultimate Performance’ ))
Set-StrictMode -Version Latest
# Get the list of plans on the current machine.
$planList = powercfg.exe -l
# The regular expression to pull out the GUID for the specified plan.
$planRegEx = “(?<PlanGUID>[A-Fa-f0-9]{8}-(?:[A-Fa-f0-9]{4}-){3}[A-Fa-f0-9]{12})” + (“(?:s+({0}))” -f $Plan)
# If the plan appears in the list…
if ( ($planList | Out-String) -match $planRegEx )
{
# Pull out the matching GUID and capture both stdout and stderr.
$result = powercfg -s $matches[“PlanGUID”] 2>&1
# If there were any problems, show the error.
if ( $LASTEXITCODE -ne 0)
{
$result
}
}
else
{
Write-Error (“The requested power scheme ‘{0}’ does not exist on this machine” -f $Plan)
}

According to the powercfg.exe it uses the GUID to change power schemas in powershell not the name. I need to do this to multiple computer which makes the GUID different on every machine. If i do the script from thepip3r i get this response from Power Shell Set-PowerPlan : The term 'Set-PowerPlan' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1 + Set-PowerPlan -Plan 'Ultimate Performance' + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have figured out how to change the Power Schema by it's name not GUID
The following code will change the Power Schema to "Ultimate Performance" but can be used to change it to any of the common names
#Change to Ultimate Performance Power Schema
Get-CimInstance -N rootcimv2power -Class win32_PowerPlan | select ElementName,
IsActive | ft -a
$p = gwmi -NS rootcimv2power -Class win32_PowerPlan -Filter "ElementName ='Ultimate
Performance'"
$p.Activate()
Get-CimInstance -N rootcimv2power -Class win32_PowerPlan | select ElementName,
IsActive | ft -a
