Configuration Profile - Idle Power Saving Settings for Realtek USB GbE

Question

Hello TechNet Community,

I have a need to push a setting to our Intune Managed Devices and need some guidance.
The setting I need to change is on one of the network adapters on one of the models of devices in our fleet. The setting I need to change is the Idle Power Saving (needs to be set to disabled)

Targeting the devices I am confident with, I am struggling with finding the relevant settings/templates/way to force these settings out.

Can anyone help?

@ChristopherCoates Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

For this issue, there is no built-in setting can make it. Based on my research, it is suggested to make it via Powershell scripts.
Here is the powershell script:

Get-NetAdapter | Where { $_.InterfaceDescription -like "Realtek USB GbE Family Controller*" } | % {  
	Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -Name $_.Name -DisplayName "Idle Power Saving" -DisplayValue "Disabled"	  
}  

Please refer to the following article to deploy the script via intune:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/intune-management-extension#create-a-script-policy-and-assign-it

I have done the test in my lab. I will share some information in my test. Beacuse I didn't have Realtek USB GbE Family Controller in my device, I tried to disable the setting "Forwarding Optimization" in Microsoft Hyper-V Network Adapter as an example:

Get-NetAdapter | Where { $_.InterfaceDescription -like "Microsoft Hyper-V Network Adapter*" } | % {  
	Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -Name $_.Name -DisplayName "Forwarding Optimization" -DisplayValue "Disabled"  
}  

It works well and have disabled the setting successfully.

So, it is suggested to try and hope it is want you want.
