WHS 2011 & Coming out of hibernation RRS feed

    Hi all,

    Recently I re-installed WHS 2011 onto my HP N40L home server. Prior to the re-installation I had my server set via task scheduler(and in the long past using Lights out) to Hibernate @ 12 midnight and wake at 8am.

    After installing a fresh copy of WHS 2011( not installing over the top ) I have not been able to get WHS 2011 to wake from hibernation using Task scheduler or lights out. WHS 2011 does Hibernate on schedule (i.e. nil issues)

    I'm at a lost to why this is occurring.  Lights out is correctly configured. When I use task scheduler to I do as per this guide - https://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4eb7ba36-d3b4-4755-b4de-d893161d2330/schedule-sleep-and-wake-up-for-whs?forum=whs2011

    Thanks for any help

    James

    Hi,

    I want to confirm with you that if you can manually wake up this server from hibernation? 

    As this problem happens after re-installation, please make sure that all hardware (including BIOS, Firmware) drivers have been up to data. Besides, check the Power Option settings:
    Control Panel – Hardware – Power Options – Edit Plan Settings – Change advanced power settings - Sleep – Enable Allow waker timers 

    Also, I would recommend you to check/install Windows Update, in order to obtain updates and fixes. 

    Best Regards,
    Eve Wang

    Hi Eve,

    Thanks for you reply

    Yes I can manually wake my server from hibernation. WHS 2011 is up to date with its updates/patches.

    I have gone and enabled 'Allow wake timers' in the Power options settings. I wonder is this is my my issue...? Such a simple fix if it is.

    I'll report back tomorrow morning after my server is due to wake from hibernation.

    Cheers

    James

    Hi Eve,

    Yes, enabling 'Allow wake timers' has this fixed my issue. Now all I need to do is track down a rogue process that wakes my server in the middle of the night!

    Cheers
