In this chapter:
Working with Windows Mobility Center	217
Configuring Power Management Settings	219
Configuring Networking for Laptops	230

In this chapter, I’ll focus on management and support issues for laptop computers and traveling users. Laptop computers have a different set of core features and require different support techniques than desktop computers do. Additional features on laptops include power management extensions and mobility options accessible through Microsoft Windows Mobility Center, Windows Vista’s new central console for accessing key mobility features. In addition to performing normal management tasks, administrators must perform support tasks for laptops, such as modifying a laptop’s network configuration so it can be used in the office and at home or connecting a laptop to a networked projector.
