  2. Rename it to Marketing

  3. Change the time we hibernate the computers as they typically leave the office later than sales staff.

    As we know that personnel in Marketing work later than those in Sales, we change the time we hibernate their computers to 20:00 on Mondays to Fridays.

  5. Update the values in the Time: fields from 18:00 to 20:00 for Monday to Friday.

  6. Update the Legacy Agent field from 18:00 to 20:00.

  7. Click the Alarm Clock tab.

    >We also know that the people in Marketing arrive in the office later than Sales so we can safely set their computers to wake up at a later time.

  8. Update the Time: fields from 07:00 to 08:00 for Monday to Friday.

  9. Click OK to save the Marketing policy.
