Windows 2003 Configuring Automatic Shutdown when power supply is off?

hello,

I just bought smart ups and connected server to it via RS232.

Also my ups has IP address assigned to it and that part is also
working OK (I can ping ups).

I'am wondering, how to configure Windows Server to close programs and
shut down when battery of ups is getting low and I am not around.

OS must figure that he's on UPS and needs to start shut down script.


I've tried to configure something with Power options properties but no
luck with that. Don't understand what I have to do. Can't find my ups
in presented ones and when I chose Custom don't know what to do.

I need some help :)

thanks
 
Hello Okramo,

Check out with the ups manufacturer's website if this ups is manageble and
how you have to handle it. Webinterface or additional software. Not every
ups is prepared to shutdown servers.

Best regards

Yes, the first thing I've done was that - but didn't find solution.

I thought that there is something with Windows OS that I have to
configure, but if it's all about manufacturer software then I'll try
harder to find solution.

Thx, anyway!
