Have had old free version 0.8 working for some considerable time. After some minor initial problems related to clients, Lights Out works like a dream. Well done. I know about the new commercial version, but am more than happy with the old. This program works. I would recommend it to a newbie.

If you leave your server on all of the time then you do not have the need for such software.
This is for people who want to save energy BUT have their WHS up and running AS IF it was always on.
This is what I expected my SCALEO to be able to do when I bought it BUT the delivered software was NOWHERE near what it needs to be for such functionality.
LightsOut finally bring several feature together into one add-in/client sevice for GREAT Power managment.

This is one great add-in.
Finally many many feature all in one add-in.
I no longer need to have up to 4 other add-ins or services on the local machines installed in order to get the functionality ‘Always Available, but NOT always on’.
For people who want there WHS to ONLY be running when needed otherwise be hibernating or in StandBy, this is the add-in to do it.

The concept of this add-in is great – too bad you have to mess with WHS components to get it to work. If you’re running WHS on an HP Mediasmart server, get ready to be frustrated…after following all install instructions explicitly, my server went into a restart loop that was only fixed with a system restore. Fun! Thanks for the totally sweet, totally broken add-in.

G’day you all, I have Lights out running on my server now for several weeks it look promising, but somehow both my desktop and my server keep waking up after some time in hibernation or sleep modus.
I have set the server to go into hibernation after 1:00 am and wake up again at 8:00 am. My desktop is allowed to go into sleep modus after not being used for two hours.
The lightout setting are set to always on during backup (0:00 – 1:00) and monitoring for 10 min and then go into hibernation.

A couple of times it all worked as set and supposed, but regularly both my server and my desktop wake up after a couple of hours.

I am wonderering if there might be a service doing this in the the background, or if my desktop going into sleep modus could wake up my server.

its kind of strange and I don’t have a clue right now which one of both is causing the problems, or that it has something to do with shared interrest on both from both machines at some point….

If someone has a idea or clue, it would be appriciated by me if you would like to share your knowlege.

Alex.

This includes newspapers and paper packaging, reputedly highly biodegradable yet one can find nearly whole copies of newspapers from decades past in landfills. ,
