Hi, I have a problem about the limit of the power resource at my work place. My office have a server with 40 clients. The power will cut off around 6pm or 6:30pm and will be available again around 6:30am in the morning (because of the fuel price growth to high the management decide to cut the power). It is really difficult for me to manage the server. Because I couldn't perform any task such as backup and schedule to clearn virus at the weekend.
One thing that I concern is about the scheudle to shutdown the server. Sometime the power was cut off before the schedule reach its time. My purpose it, how could we detect the UPS of the server when it detect that if there is no power supply around 30 second then it will shutdown the server. I know the command to shutdown the server immediately but i don't not know how could we detect the power on UPS when it is disconnect. Does anyone has any idea? Thank in advance!!!

What brand and model UPS is it?
|
|
|

This model is equipped with both a USB and a serial connector. So you can connect a cable to the server and install the APCs own program (Powershute) for handling the shutdown of the server.

It most probably means that the UPS has been running after the power outtage the evening before until the battery is flat and then shuts off.
It takes a day or so to recharge the battery to have what the UPS is considering to be enough power.
The default setting of Powerchute, if I remember correctly, is to keep on running until there is five minutes of power left and then signal to the server to shut down.
I would change this setting to shutting down the server five minutes after the power outtage.
This way you're going to save a lot of battery life time, lead-acid batteries likes to stay fully charged.
And the server will still be shut down is a nice way, which will keep your databases happy.

God!!! my office power just run from 7am to 7pm. And that time that we need to run our server. I don't know when the battery will be charge that UPS is considering to be enough power. As your expereince do you know how long (nearly exact time) that UPS could be fully charge?

What is that services.exe all about? I have the habit of running Services MMC Snapin by navigating to Start, Run, Services.msc. In some real hurry and sometimes when I forget the .MSC, my Task Manager shows a steep high CPU usage and some weird process services.exe keeps running.
In the most of the cases, the only solution left is to give a kick to the system and allow it to reboot and then it comes back to normalcy.

From http://www.liutilities.com:
Services.exe is a part of the Microsoft Windows Operating System and manages the operation of starting and stopping services. This process also deals with the automatic starting of services during the computers boot-up and the stopping of services during shut-down. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.
Although as it points out, some viruses use services.exe as their virus executable to look like the legitimate Windows component.

services.exe implements the Service Control Manager. It also hosts the Event Log and Plug and Play services, on Windows XP.
It could appear to be consuming a lot of CPU if a service or application is logging a lot of data to the event log, or if a service is frequently updating its running status - or crashing and having to be restarted a lot.

Hi,
Can anybody please help me to find out the way to change the password from command prompt.
I have mapped a folder of some other server (lets say a) on my pc (lets say b) with different userid (pqr\myUser ) and password.
Now i want to change the password of this user (pqr\myUser ) from command prompt. This user belongs from different domain (lets say pqr) and computer b (my pc) is in defferent domain (lets say zzz).
i tried NET USER ( c:\>NET USER myUser mynewPWD ) but its not working.
Please can anybody suggest me some command like net user.
Thanks,
Ankur Bakliwal

The command does work, but you can only change passwords in the current domain (the one the admin is logged in as). It doesn't work on foreign domains, and only an admin can use this command to change passwords.

|

Yes Dave,
i logged into the server with domain (pqr), like pqr\myUser, but the pc b (my pc) is not in same domain. It is in different domain.
Can it be possible?
Thanks,
Ankur Bakliwal

If you are starting with it, try Virtual Box[^], which is free and open source.

Sorry, but how possibly is cygwin remotely related to the query? The OP wanted to run the entire "Linux OS" from within Windows. So, he is looking for virtualization software. Not Cygwin, which is just an emulator.
