I have 3 W2K, SP4 servers sitting in a branch office, all connected to
separate APC Backups CS350 UPS's.
Today there was a power outage while nobody was around to shut down the
servers when they were on battery power.
On 2 servers, the Power Options were set so that the Critical Battery Alarm
would shut down the computer when the battery power reaches 10%.
On the 3rd server I must have forgotten to set the Alarm actions in Power
Options because they were set to defaults (where the check box for "When the
alarm goes off, the computer will:" is unchecked).
On the 2 servers that I configured to shut down, they didn't. On the one
that was left at default settings, it did!
I am not using the APC software, only relying on what's built in to Windows.
Can anyone explain this?
Thanks.
