What's the difference between sleep, hibernate, and hybrid sleep? - Windows 7

Sleep is a power-saving state that allows a computer to quickly resume full-power operation (typically within several seconds) when you want to start working again. Putting your computer into the sleep state is like pausing a DVD player—the computer immediately stops what it’s doing and is ready to start again when you want to resume working.

Hibernation is a power-saving state designed primarily for laptops. While sleep puts your work and settings in memory and draws a small amount of power, hibernation puts your open documents and programs on your hard disk, and then turns off your computer. Of all the power-saving states in Windows, hibernation uses the least amount of power. On a laptop, use hibernation when you know that you won't use your laptop for an extended period and won't have an opportunity to charge the battery during that time.

Hybrid sleep is designed primarily for desktop computers. Hybrid sleep is a combination of sleep and hibernate—it puts any open documents and programs in memory and on your hard disk, and then puts your computer into a low-power state so that you can quickly resume your work. That way, if a power failure occurs,Windows can restore your work from your hard disk. When hybrid sleep is turned on, putting your computer into sleep automatically puts your computer into hybrid sleep. Hybrid sleep is typically turned on by default on desktop computers.

What's the Difference Between Standby and Hibernate? (From: http://www.tipsintime.com/84.htm)

What's the Difference Between Standby and Hibernate?
In Standby mode, power is saved by shutting down the hard drives, fans and monitors. These are high power consumption devices. The computer still uses power to save the data in memory, so you can restart very quickly (however, if power goes off while in this state, the data in memory will be lost).

In Hibernate mode, XP saves the data in memory to the hard disk. Then the power is cut off completely, so this preserves more battery life. When you restart, it takes a little longer because the data saved on the disk must be restored to memory. Of course, this method uses disk space to store the memory data.

If you're using the XP theme view, you might not see the Hibernate option when you select to shut down the computer. First try holding down the Shift key to cause the Standby key to change to Hibernate. If that doesn't work, hibernation might not be enabled. Go to Control Panel | Performance and Maintenance | Power Options (or just Power Options in classic view). On the Hibernation tab, check the box that says Enable hibernation and click OK.

Google Apps Device Policy

網域管理員可以使用專為 Android 應用程式設計的 Google Apps Device Policy,在 Android 行動裝置上執行安全性政策,當 Android 行動裝置遭竊或遺失時還可遠端清除裡面的資料。這個應用程式是在裝置上執行的服務,會定期與裝置的管理伺服器溝通,確保確實執行政策。

如果您設定 Google Apps Device Policy,未安裝 Device Policy 的裝置就無法與您的 Google Apps 網域同步處理資料 (電子郵件、日曆或聯絡人)。

Google Apps Device Policy 是 Android 專用的應用程式。

 

  • 選取您要使用的設定。您可以在 [行動裝置] 網頁中決定以下的安全設定。請注意,只有旁邊帶有 Android 圖示選項才能適用於 Android 裝置。
    • 限制 Google Sync:如果裝置不支援您指定的「安全設定」,即無法進行同步處理。
    • 使用者必須在其裝置上設定密碼:使用者必須使用密碼來鎖定裝置。
    • 密碼強度:不設定密碼條件,或是規定密碼必須要有至少一個字母、一個數字以及一個標點符號。

    CPAU and Bat to exe converter

    I use a tool call "CPAU" and "Bat to exe converter" to create an execute file for the user to use it normal user right to run an program need administrator privilege.

    Step 1:


    Use CPAU to encrypt the command to "runas" the program by using the service account (local account with admin right - not local admin (For security reason)

    CPAU.exe -u <username> -p <password> -ex "C:\Program Files\abc00.exe" -enc -file "C:\Program Files\runapp.txt"

    Step 2:

    Create a runapp.bat to decrypt the encrypted file "runapp.txt"

    cpau.exe -dec -file  "C:\Program Files\runapp.txt"

    Step 3:

    Use Bat to exe converter to convert the runapp.bat to runapp.exe

    Step 4:

    Copy the CPAU.exe to "System32" that machine. And Copy the "runapp.txt" and "runapp.exe" to the C:\Program Files\

    Step 5:

    Create the local service account

    Step 6:

    Create a shortcut to runapp.exe on the desktop

    Remark:
    1. Since the CPAU encryption is not very strong, I suggest that we create the other local account with admin privilege at a service account and also prevent the local admin account password change.
    2. The service account password should be 14 digit or above to prevent hash attack

    Reference:
    CPAU
